The use of social media filters has been in existence for some time now, and the detrimental effects they have on young people have been a topic of discussion.
However, recent advancements in AI technology and machine vision have enabled the manipulation of human appearance on a whole new level. Take, for example, the examples showcased on this thread. The ability of this technology to seamlessly alter one's appearance on mobile devices in real-time is nothing short of remarkable.
We have now transcended the "uncanny valley" and entered into a realm of unknown and insanity. Brace yourself because our ability to trust our eyes to differentiate what is real from what is not is rapidly diminishing. It is no longer enough to be cautious of the use of filters; we must also be wary of AI-assisted image manipulation that can deceive us even further.
As we continue to navigate this new era of advanced technology, it's crucial that we remain vigilant and aware of the potential consequences of such advancements. Nevertheless, we can't deny the potential benefits and opportunities that AI technology brings to the table.
It's a delicate balance that we must maintain as we strive to find the sweet spot between progress and caution.
