But unrealistic in the sense that it makes significant changes to the user’s looks.
Sad to watch the reveal reaction videos further down in the thread.
After looking at several of the videos, you start to notice some similarities, at which point it becomes a lot more obvious.
The vast majority of normal people just don't look like that, certainly not most of the time. So if you see someone with a perfect-looking face like in these videos, either they're a professional model or they've used a filter. Not hard to figure out which one of those possibilities is overwhelmingly more likely..
Still, even if you know all that it probably won't be enough to stop this stuff from messing with your brain if you look at it often enough.
But "nearly impossible to see" is going to last all of a week, until the people who are currently blind to them start picking up on the tells.
It's a good discussion though, because they're just going to keep improving.
Do people actually like how this looks? I can hardly stand to watch these videos. It's hard to explain - it's like I'm watching something disgusting.
Like maybe uncanny valley? It's like I'm watching a dead doll talk.
I think you're underestimating the difficulty of the latter. Without direct comparisons, how do you know the filter is there as opposed to heavy makeup, plastic surgery, or it's just their face?
