It has a built-in check which prevents the program from working on inappropriate media including but not limited to nudity, graphic content, sensitive material such as war footage etc.

This is noble, but git… open-source… forks…

Since face swapping tools crop.up frequently, what is their pitch? What are the non-abusive use cases for face swapping?

Putting yourself or a friend in a movie scene, for example.

Entertainment (memes). Trying out a new hairstyle matching your face.

Digital marketing agencies can make website team pages look much more professional without having to go to the expense of a photo shoot

I use Roop (which this is a successor of) to make stablediffusion pictures of myself (e.g. for my slack avatar).

fullspectrumdev2• 3 years ago

Amusement. Putting your mates in a film scene. Making silly memes. Etc.

Not everything needs a “serious” usecase.

At least that check is not hosted elsewhere and the author is clear from any defamation deriving from their programs use.

Looks like a wrapper around insightface along with a dash of GAN face smoothing (esrgan and gfpgan).

Also using a pretty standard nsfw model that could be disabled in 1 line.

nsfw model that could be disabled in 1 line.

I would assume "that’s the point"

What is the difference to roop? Even the main dev seems to be the same.

Quote:

The reason behind shutting the project down is that a developer with write access to the code published a problematic video to the documentation of the project. This happened while I was taking a break from the project in July-Aug 2023. It went unnoticed for 2 weeks until someone reached out to me to talk about this project. It was a complete breach of trust for me and I decided that I do not have the interest or time to oversee the development of a software with such ethical issues.

Anyone have any idea what this problematic video is, or what caused this to happen?

roop was largely maintained by henryruhs, but he wasn't the repo owner. Roop's repo owner decided to shut it down, and FaceFusion is the continuation.

Blackmirror episode: everyone has a brain implant which among other things makes anyone you look at, including yourself look ridiculously attractive, unless by law the implant is removed when you are convicted of a felony. The protagonist gets convicted only to find out he/she is really fat and ugly, only to find true beauty in another far and ugly person.

Pretty contrived.

There's a great short story by Ted Chiang that explores a similar idea: https://waldyrious.neocities.org/ted_chiang/liking-what-you-.... It's interesting to think about how much attractiveness plays into the way the world works.

How about:

After a landmark constitutional amendment guaranteeing absolute equity under the law, the government mandates the implantation of “equalizers” in all citizens at birth.

These brain implants suppress intelligence to a standardized mean and distort visual perception, rendering all faces equally devoid of distinguishing beauty.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote this story in 1961:

And maybe the protagonist would find an exemption and turn out to be better looking and smarter which causes problems for him/her?

Not gonna be impressed until something that can beat insightface-128 comes out open, shocked no open source teams have taken the challenge to do a 512 model train.

An ideal choice for people that do not like their face.

Insightface now using improved model but closed source via discord bot.
