Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had a massive impact across various sectors, especially in the image editing/ generating segment, as tech companies have developed various advanced AI-based tools to enhance and generate images. And now, a recent entrant is an AI-based image-enhancing tool that promises to generate more accurate facial features of individuals in portrait images than previous AI-based imaging tools.
Furthermore, the app completely crashed, displaying a “runtime error”, after we used it on an image with multiple faces. Although the CPU memory limit did not exceed, it showed the same repeatedly.
Plus, critics suggest that AI-based image-enhancing tools like GFP-GAN can pose a privacy threat for many as these can be used to monitor populations and improve CCTV images of people without their permission. Nonetheless, it is not as bad as the Clearview AI system, I guess.
