I’m pretty sure you all know by now that AI-generated faces are a thing. After all, we’ve already reached the stage where we can describe something in words and AI turns it into a photo or a video in seconds. So, it’s not surprising that AI portraits have found their purpose, and it’s even less surprising that it’s – deceptive.

A recent report shows that companies are using fake AI-generated portraits on their “About Us” pages. “Why,” you may wonder. Well, apparently, they do it to look more professional and to make their companies look bigger than they are.

New Google Chrome extension helps you spot fake photos with 99.29% accuracy

With the rise in AI-generated imagery lately, creating fake images, even very realistic looking human faces is become more widespread and readily available than ever – especially thanks to services like This Person Does Not Exist – which uses NVIDIA tech that we’ve featured here before. To our eyes, it’s often almost impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not anymore.

But a new Chrome extension from V7 Labs wants to take the guesswork out of figuring out which faces on the web are fake and which are legit, and it does it with a claimed 99.28% accuracy. It’s designed to help rid us of misleading content and fake profiles for people who simply do not exist in the real world, as V7 Labs founder Alberto Rizzoli explains in a video published to Loom.

NVIDIA has been doing a lot of cool stuff with AI. One of those things is GauGAN AI, something of a predecessor to NVIDIA’s Canvas application, which we checked out here when I tried to recreate some of my landscape photographs with it. Well, GauGAN2 is here now and it’s gotten smarter. Way smarter. You don’t just paint coloured pixels where you want things to be anymore. Oh no, now it actually understands what you say!

And unlike Canvas, which is free to download but limited to those with an NVIDIA RTX GPU, anybody can have a go and play with GauGAN2 through its handy web interface.

We tried recreating landscape photos with AI using NVIDIA Canvas

The whole concept of AI has always been quite fascinating to me. Not so much the whole end of the world Terminator stuff, but how AI relates to imagery. That a computer can generate somewhat realistic-looking images with very little input from the user is just mind-boggling.

One of the companies at the forefront of AI imaging tech is NVIDIA. So, when NVIDIA reached out to me to ask if I’d like to test out the recently released NVIDIA Canvas and some of the AI-powered features in Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve on one of the also recently launched RTX Studio laptops, I jumped at the opportunity.

It can take a pixelated, low-res photo and turn it into a realistic portrait. While the results are pretty impressive – the app doesn’t come without its quirks.
