My father and wife both look younger and more attractive than these images, so if flattery is part of the latest model, it’s working.
@pwinn The 72-year old men seem close enough. But the women seem waaay older than 47, heh.
@trinsec My 72-year-old father might look like that in another ten years, I guess? Or 15?
I’m beginning to think my family has “young-looking genes.” But maybe that’s the model’s bias.
@pwinn Actually, yes, my dad who’s 80 looks lots better than this. But it does depend on genes and whether they had blue collar jobs or white collar ones, some jobs are heavy enough that you get to look old young. And heavy smokers… and been outside a lot. A lot of influences there.
But I’d say the computer-generated images of the 72-year olds are not altogether too far off methinks, 70+ years would be the absolute minimum that I’d expect for this kind of wrinklage.
@trinsec
Yeah, bias in the training AI is a bit of controversy right now. And actually, this is how most people think – if they describe a white person, then they don’t mention her race, but if they describe, for example, a black person then they will include her race in the description.
