There are some things AI image generation is FREAKISHLY good at, and one is reproducing styles and vibes across different presentations. Yes you can train it on a video game character and apply it to a photoreal model. Unlike Bernie Sanders, it will make anime real. pic.twitter.com/HHf0kY1byq

There's a literal infinite sliders between game influences and real-life tendencies. All depends on your prompting, model, weights, postprocessing, etc. pic.twitter.com/OIEXjIve1Z

Are you starting to understand. When you have local models and training and compute, this has no real limits.

In posting this thread I was called an art thief and a pervert.
Would you prefer I cloned a real person. Because I could. And there would be little hint of its inauthenticity.

You need to understand the world you're living in. We need cultural defenses for this harassment.

I can afford a GPU to do this effortlessly. And I've spent the time to learn the maddening software and quirks.

This is going to be everywhere for everyone. I am showing you now what your kids are going to be making tomorrow.

And it's only going to get better. This is my alarm.

Cultural defenses as in the common person seeing almost or actual photo-real generated images of people doing horrendous things as bullshit and not a reflection on them. Equivalent to an ascribed story, instead of the shame of a pasted face. This is fucking here. It is right now. https://t.co/6Baq3S668k

I'm going to tell you.
I've watched for months as tech improved. And as I learned how to do it. To generate real people.

And you know what. It would be the Right decision not to tell you. Because what questions would that engender.

But I don't care anymore. You NEED to know.

— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) June 22, 2023

So fuck it call me whatever. I made that calculation.

You need to know this tech is real and it's being used and it's coming to your doorstep.

I dismiss AI doomers. This is the REAL AI story. It's teen girls and women hurting now, so sure write your hero-story abstract fiction.

We are not going to stop this tech. We are not going to airstrike datacenters running it.

It is on my GPU today. And I have the privileged insight into a temporarily very expensive GPU. Soon this tech will be onboard graphics.

So I am telling you. Do with that what you will.

What freaked me out, what lead to this conversion.
I generated an image. I am very skilled now with tell-take flaws common to AI. The lighting, incongruous shading, illogical human structures.

I thought it was a photo. I forgot I made it. You will not win in this new world.

— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) June 22, 2023

Literally I have run series of jobs with the most powerful consumer GPUs in the world. I have seen at least 50,000 AI images.

And I did not fucking know it was my own on first glance.

The focus on hands and stuff is a temporary distraction. It is not a North Star on fidelity.

— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) June 22, 2023

Again, I want to make clear.
The right choice is not to tell you. It is not to inform you I have the skills to copy and paste faces and generate arbitrary actions of anybody.
The right choice is to shut the fuck up.

But I am also a dumbass with an illogical social obligation.
