The risk of AI-generated doppelgangers
AI-generated doppelgangers can become your worst nightmare. One minute you might be a young lottery millionaire and the next minute on a wanted poster for terrorists being hunted by Israeli special services. We all marvel at the images created by MidJourney and Dall-E. We might even wonder where the software gets its faces from. We might believe the faces it gets are all created ‘by magic’ and not borrowed from you and me.
This young guy might have tried to have a great time with drink, perhaps drugs, and girls with his new-found wealth. Then suddenly imagine someone matches you on a wanted poster. You have become a Hamas terrorist.
It is a scary thought that special forces and agents might hunt you down. In 1973 a similar situation happened in Lillehammer. A Morrocan waiter in Norway was identified by special agents as Ali Hassan Salameh, a PLO organizer of Black September which killed Israeli athletes in the 1972 Olympics in Munich.
The lesson is images modified or generated by AI should never be trusted with facial ID.
And this guy is he a doppelganger? Pimeyes finds him but facial ID says he doesn’t match. But that could be because the original is a fisheye lens moving the positions of the landmarks on his face.
What about this guy?
How certain would you be to kill 30 people, injure a similar number as a result of your own facial identification?
How do you know this is the same person?
