What’s wrong with my face?

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

I’ve just been down on Z-Deck playing with some highly experimental new face-swapping AI and I thought you’d be interested to see some of the results.

Gonna need to see Rickman and Molina

Here’s some more nightmare fuel for you all. No need to thank me.

Gonna need to see Rickman and Molina

[Moonlight]

OK, I can’t be the only thinking “how does this thing handle a Kryten mask?”

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

It doesn’t. I tried that earlier and it always comes out too smooth. Like a normal face on a Kryten head.

Case and point: David Ross onto IV Bobby Llewellyn.

I give you the Baron Harkonnen.

[Moonlight]

Thanks, I was hoping for horrors beyond my comprehension.

Like with a number of these, I’m unclear on what I’m actually looking at.

Same. Is that Bob Geldof as Series 1 Holly?

It is a testament to how faceblind I am that in every one of these the hair feels like it’s overwriting the face in how I recognize the character.

 And here’s two for KT

The gestalt entity known as Grant Naylor: revealed.

Protip, ID. Cutting out the H from the original photo and pasting it over the AI monstrosity goes a long way, unless of course you’re trying to be as unsettling as possible.

[Moonlight]

I can’t say I was expecting NosferRimtu to come out this badly.

[International Debris]

unless of course you’re trying to be as unsettling as possible.

No, but I do admit to a certain amount of laziness. 

[Moonlight]

Thirty seconds of the polygonal lasso tool will do it. I’m going to protest outside your house if you don’t commit to it.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

People are going crazy about de-ageing actors. Personally, I want to see more of the reverse.

So here’s my attempt at making Series 1 Rimmer look like Series XII Rimmer.

It is a testament to how faceblind I am that in every one of these the hair feels like it’s overwriting the face in how I recognize the character.

I have never thought of myself as faceblind but out of context I’m really struggling to see the difference in many of them.  I truly can’t work out the difference in most of the first post, to the point I was starting to wonder if it was a deadpan wind up.

I think what people are struggling with in the main are the ones that are just deaging.

But Alan Rickman as Rimmer is absolutely brilliant. Could never imagine it before.

[Unrumble]

I think what people are struggling with in the main are the ones that are just deaging. 

Thanks for clearing that up, thought I was going strange. You can see the confusion when all the Kochanski ones in that first post are just Grogan/Annett swaps.

Is there an app for that? No improvement on my long Covid so I only really use my computer for a few minutes a day. My meme making is all done on my phone. 

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Alexandra Pigg, the original original Kochanski.

How about…

[Unrumble]

How about…

[loadoftottnumb]

Was Pam St Clement in line to play Kryten?

It doesn’t. I tried that earlier and it always comes out too smooth. Like a normal face on a Kryten head.

Simon Gaffney with Chris Barrie’s face

[Jenuall]

Rickman and Molina are one thing, but a lesser known fact is that before his political career really took off a certain Jeremy Corbyn was in the running for the role of Holly and some stills of his audition do still remain in circulation:

By all accounts he absolutely nailed it and should have been a shoo-in for the role, but as would sadly become a common occurrence for the man he wuz robbed! 

[Ian Symes]

How about…

I thought this was Keith from Boyzone.

Go on, then, someone chuck some Craig Bierko and Chris Eigeman shots in.

[Moonlight]

But do it where you put Chris Barrie over Chris Eigeman’s character on Malcolm in the Middle.

[tombow]

has AI made photoshop obsolete then? Like how people used to do this with photoshop?

[Moonlight]

If by “has AI made Photoshop obsolete” you actually mean “does AI more efficiently and easily perform this very specific task than manually Photoshopping it” then yes.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Well, mostly. It still seems to struggle with certain faces if they’re different shapes to one another. I’ve had a hell of a time trying to get results to a Clare Grogan onto Chloe Annett face-swap that in any way shape or form resembles human physiognomy,

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

But do it where you put Chris Barrie over Chris Eigeman’s character on Malcolm in the Middle.

Granted.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

And for an encore:

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

In case anyone couldn’t guess. Can’t seem to add it to the post I meant to though so this’ll have to do.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Actually, you know what? Forget swapping faces – let’s swap clothes instead.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Wait, let me try that last one again. I accidentally left the old prompt in about short sleeves.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

And one for the road:

(I had a go at de-ageing him, in case it’s not obvious)
