I just saw an image of a person, is it photoshop?

Click again in the same link or refresh the page.
Everytime it will show up a different person, and none of them are real. They are all computer-generated faces.

Ok question for the high IQ individuals on Forumosa. How many times would it need to be clicked for an existing person’s face to be created , just by chance ? There must be a finite number of possible facial appearances no?
And does this mean God might have used algorithms to create life?

That depends on how minimal amount of features must be different for a face to be taken as different.
Would twins be considered as two different faces?

Disclaimer: I’m not one of the high IQ individuais on Forumosa, so I probably shouldn’t be trying to answer this question. However, one can say it depends on how high an IQ must be to be taken as high. :rofl:

Only someone with a high IQ would question if they really had a high IQ lol
However back to the question , so yes lets say we change the question to “How many times would the computer generated image come up the same as a real person who has lived or is living at any time period during their lifetime?”. For example “Wow that is my friend John McDonald but 20 years ago.”

Once.

that one is over my head

Don’t worry. I didn’t get that too.
@the_bear is part of the selective group of high IQ Forumoseans :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So selective there’s only one of us in the group.

The secret handshake is a bit redundant.

Back to the original question, I think it’s similar to ask what are the possibilities of the same image to be generated twice.
Based on the amount of possible features and in the random pattern generation, I think it’s same to assume it to be close to zero (meaning an infinite possible faces to be generated).
Now, for the computer to generate the face of your friend John McDonald of 20 years ago, I think it depends more on you than on the computer itself.
I mean, how similar has it to be for you to say it’s the same face? What if the eyebrows are a bit higher? Or thinner? What is there’s one eyebrow missing? How about an ear missing?

Why would there be an ear missing? In what sick perverted world do you live in where ears regularly go missing?

Why are you so worried?
I said an ear missing, not a bear missing… :rofl:

I’m not worried. You want an ear? Hell I could get you an ear. I could get you an ear by 3.30 today, no worries.

That’s just a bit of his ear. Chopper Read might be a better example.

This guy’s more famous.

The world of John McDonald.:rofl:

That boy’s in a world of pain.

Interesting, so it also depends on my subjective perception of what John McDonald looked like to me 20 years ago. Got it:
