“Realistic” in the sense that it’s nearly impossible to see that a filter is being applied.

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.

They look stylistically realistic, but are indeed unnatural and easy to spot as fake. It's probably just that picking up on the clues depends on how attentive you are to what details in face.

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.

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?

All of that other stuff is also fake.

That wasn't the point.
