I feel like I haven’t let go of my papers this whole year. The pace of progress lately is ramping up and I’m loving it.

[El-zonk]

imagine this running real time embedded into a smart vanity mirror at home or in a salon. People would love it.

Your enthusiasm towards technology advancements is so contagious!

I feel like if I use this app to show my barber *EXACTLY* the hair cut I want, he will STILL find a way to screw it up. 🤣

I hope in the near future it can recognise certain things about the hair so that it can give a result of how the hair can actually be. I have a twirl in my hair that makes my hair stick up when it's a bit short. And thick hair or thin hair as well as the amount of hair all influence how someone's haircut can be.
So I'd like to have an AI that lets us use sliders to make our hair longer or shorter and use some other tools to influence the look. That would be an amazing tool to pick a new haircut :D

the hair loss advertisements that youtube pairs with this video makes your video even better 😄 🤣 😂

For those people that keep cutting your hair at home, this is for you.

This is what they should have in ever barbershop!

Show a hairstyle selection from the catalogue, pump the client through the AI as the target with the hairstyle from the catalogue being the reference, and then the client would know right away how that hairstyle would translate over to them.

Love it!

Well, since medicine can't fix my baldness, might as well give tech a chance

[t.vision]

this with the stye should have been the squeezing moment. JUST AMAZING!

[maximilianmander]

That paper as an App will be hyped to the moon.

[juliandarley]

looks like a wonderful tool for character development and poster creation (especially as the code is available). is there some way of creating 3D geometry to match the hair so that it can be used in animated/dynamic sequences?

[sharkinahat]

Please someone turn this into a Gimp plugin!

[Kram]

This has been absurdly good for a good while now. And yet it keeps getting better.

[Into_Ingrid]

This is something artbreeder needs to implement.

[crazyknexkid]

This is perfect for be because I never know what haircut to get.

[therealjantube]

This is perfect for hair salons! I would like to fix the color and only change the haircuts. So I would put the same image to "Identity" and "Appearance" and only change "Structure". I will try to find out how to do it later.

[MasterScrat]

We NEED "what a time to be alive" merch!

[GabrieloTomorrow]

One important question: Can I actually use that program _right now_ if I wanted to?
And if so, how?
Excuse my ignorance, it's just that I still lack experience in all of this cool AI stuff.

It's interesting that the face changes a little which is actually good because it means it's not just copy paste but a seen face and generated from latent parameters. That the pimple on the right cheek becomes a few specks of sun spots nicely shows how those are too specific and rare to be properly generalized. Or maybe lost if this is a low resolution generator at first
