Ask HN: FaceTime using generative models on low-quality calls?

2 pointsby anpep5 months ago
Hi, I was in a call two minutes ago with two friends and my Wi-Fi connection was acting, so the call quality dropped a lot and lost connectivity for a few seconds—after it reconnected, I instantly realized that the low-framerate video feeds of my friends were using some sort of generative model, it was as if they were “DeepFake”ing themselves!<p>I didn’t find anything on the internet regarding this nor I think Apple advertises this “feature”. The closest thing I’ve found is FaceTime Attention Correction, but this was quite obviously a neural network generating the video frames. Does anybody know what this is?

Don&#x27;t know about FaceTime. But at least Samsung is known to take photos containing AI generated things, without any explicit permission&#x2F;settings: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;3&#x2F;13&#x2F;23637401&#x2F;samsung-fake-moon-photos-ai-galaxy-s21-s23-ultra" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2023&#x2F;3&#x2F;13&#x2F;23637401&#x2F;samsung-fake-moo...</a><p>Ultimately I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if Apple jumped on this bandwagon too...
