    Gosh… must be terrible for their families to see them there… but I think that as you see them moving they become more “real” to you, and you actually stop to look at their faces and try to remember if you’ve seen them somewhere. The plain old photos are quickly forgotten…

    Correction, a company implemented existing AI technology in a tool to animate the faces of missing people.

    This type of animation really makes it look like something from a scifi movie

    Gives me harry potter vibes, the slight movements of the portraits

    And yes I understand that this is used for something serious

    Now use deepfakes to make them also verbally ask you to help them, and facial recognition combined with directed sound to make them do it by your own name.

    Let’s really go all out here.

  8. Is there… any reason for this? Like, is it supposed to boost engagement by catching your eye? Or make things stick in your memory more because they move?

    I think I remember seeing this in the video game- Watch Dogs
