Making an observation on the video, a Twitter user wrote, “Interesting to see how the facial structure remains intact, but the body and skin suppleness changes with age”.
The tweet also prompted a discussion on the rapidly advancing ability of AI art. Expressing an optimistic sentiment about AI technology, a Twitter user wrote, “AI’s potential is both exciting and intimidating, but seeing it produce stunningly realistic portraits that capture the essence of humanity is awe-inspiring. Let’s embrace the power of technology while staying mindful of its ethical implications. #AIart #humanity”.
Another Twitter user shared a more cautious view and said, ‘It’s tremendous and I am afraid it would take away human intelligence and workmanship. The world is going to be on a crisis for Jobs.”
