Maskr.AI is photo editing app that allowed users to insert their face into photos alongside celebrities using generative adversarial network (GAN) technology.
The app works by having users upload a selfie photo of themselves. Then they choose any image featuring their desired celebrity like Elon Musk. The AI algorithm would automatically replace the face of the person next to the celebrity with the user's face from their selfie.
The results were highly realistic photos that looked as if the user actually took a real picture with the celebrity. The AI-swapped faces matched perspectives and lighting in the scene.
Maskr.AI offers this as a fun way for users to imagine what it would be like to meet their favorite celebrities. The app creators said it took extensive work to develop AI models capable of photorealistic face swapping.
While Maskr.AI services like it demonstrate the rapid advances in AI-generated synthetic media. In the future, tools like Maskr.AI may become more prevalent, assuming ethical considerations around impersonation and misinformation are addressed.
