Stitch it in time 👹

+ AI-generated icons, Whisper v2, Young Hagrid and more

Hi folks! 👋🏻 It's Wednesday, which means we're closer to the weekend! 🙌🏻 Now, let's take a look at what's new in the ever-evolving world of AI!

No more facial glitches 🤡

This model takes face editing of real videos to the next level.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a type of network that can be used to create realistic images, but it has been harder to create realistic videos.

This is because videos have a lot of different parts which all have to fit/move together correctly.

This new method produces very natural facial manipulations, even when the video is of someone talking.

OpenAI released Whisper's large v2 model

Whisper is a speech recognition model by Open AI.

Not only is it one of the top performers in the game, but it's also got a certain je ne sais quoi when it comes to mimicking human-level robustness and accuracy in English recognition.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, they released version 2.
