Topic on title. I stumbled into a free online face-swapping app and started testing it, seeing how it works while using some of my own photos with masks.

I'll admit the results aren't always extraordinary (some swaps are rightfully cursed) but others look pretty decent. It's obvious that the result isn't perfect (the dead eyes are a giveaway, and so does the smooth face reveal vs. the graininess of the camera) but it's a fun experiment.

Have you experimented with AI faceswapping apps before, either replacing your own face or replacing a mask's look? I do feel faceswapping won't replace masking (there is a charm to try to provide some life to silicone) but it's an interesting point of view, since the app is essentially making a digital mask for you to "wear".

Do note that if you feel disgusted by AI, you're free to say so. It's definitely not for everyone, and it's as much valid opinion as if you like it or simply tolerate it.
