While I have had some interesting cyberpunk-like work in the past, my current role is biometric security. As a part of my role, I look at people’s faces from photos and video and verify whether they are real. I use a variety of ML-driven detections to select probable synthetic imagery content, as well as my own training and visual inspection. I see around 50,000 faces a day, and some of the synthetics are impossible to detect by the human eye. It isn’t quite the Voight-Kampff test, but it’s as close as I’ve seen.
I think the strangest aspect of my experience in this role, and previous roles, is that over time, the cyberpunk-like aspect of my work disappears, and it just becomes normality.
