This is a clever way to bypass. If they get wise and somehow filter out Sam Porter Bridges' face, you could always fire up any of the games of comparable visual realism which let you design your own character's appearance.

Just get an AI to generate a face. If it's prepared to accept photos from video games and it'll probably accept AI generated images.

Not really that I expected competence.

From what the article says the app watches you while you change expressions as prompted, so you can't use AI-generated still images. That's why using a game's photo mode, where you can toggle the CG facial expression around in real time while pointing your camera at it, is such a clever solution.

It’s not just the realistic appearance, it’s the fact you can make the character do the specific expressions required, like opening your mouth etc

The one thing AI might be good for

That game is going to get really popular now with some folks not even playing it. lol

[–] themakara@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

To be fair, the game's rated 18+ in the UK. In terms of the law, this probably doesn't suffice. But theoretically, there still is a kind of age-check in place :'D

This age verification thing is so stupid but it's good to know it can be bypassed this easily!! not gonna dox myself I care about my privacy 🤘 hope enough people rebel against this measure gets overturned bc it shows this country doesn't care about people's privacy online which is ironic considering the name
