Preface
Mobile phones will "undress with one click"?
Loading...
Recently, some netizens were surprised to find that Huawei's latest P70 mobile phone has an "amazing" feature:
It can remove the clothes in the picture with one click, and the picture effect after elimination is extremely realistic!
Hearing this news, many netizens said that they "placed an order overnight", and shouted to Huawei in the air: This feature must not be removed from the shelves.
Huawei's AI "one-click undressing"
Huawei has a lot of new tricks every time it releases a new mobile phone, and the same is true for this P70 mobile phone, which has a special AI drawing processing function, but this function has become popular on the Internet in an unexpected way.
I don't know who used this mobile phone, I found a loophole in it, and I made a teaching video and put it on the Internet: drag the picture into the program, and then erase the thing you don't want to see on the picture, and the "occlusion" on the character is gone.
The current network is really too fast, this video was seen by many people at once, everyone followed along, and Huawei P70 mobile phones also climbed on the hot search overnight.
Many people feel incredible after seeing this function, but they have posted their "masterpieces", or claimed that they have "placed an order overnight", shouting from the air that Huawei must not remove this function.
In fact, in the end, this is just a manifestation of today's advanced AI technology, but some people even try this feature with their favorite celebrities or other people's photos. This is a big problem, because it has become an illegal and infringing act.
Some netizens said that the AI retouching function of the Huawei Pura70 mobile phone is really a bit excessive, and the clothes of the person in the picture can disappear with one click, which is not very good?
This AI function could have made retouching easier and better-looking, but I didn't expect it to come up with such a strange picture of disrespect for women and invasion of privacy, doesn't anyone think there is really something wrong with this feature?
Netizens talked a lot, and Huawei couldn't sit still, so it came out overnight to issue a statement to reply to this controversial issue.
According to Huawei's customer service, this AI function was developed by Huawei itself. Due to some algorithmic reasons, there are still some unfixed vulnerabilities in this technology, and they will work hard to improve these problems in the future, so that everyone can use them more confidently.
Some people found that this so-called "one-click elimination" function has also been discontinued, and a similar picture will show "The elimination function cannot be used".
AI just entertainment?
Because this feature caused widespread controversy and was finally taken off the shelves, many people jumped out to complain, thinking that others were "too sensitive", just an entertainment pastime, and there was no need to be so online.
After all, the use of AI can be seen in all aspects of our daily life, and Huawei is just following the trend.
Some netizens made a detailed comparison of the AI elimination function of the other three mobile phones, and the results showed that Xiaomi mobile phones performed particularly well in this regard, while the other two mobile phones could only be regarded as slightly modified.
If this video is noticed by Xiaomi officials, I am afraid they will also consider further optimizing and improving their own AI elimination function.
On the current popular social platform, AI cross-dressing and face swapping functions are being warmly sought after by the majority of netizens. These creative netizens are always able to bring us unexpected surprises, and their creativity and imagination seem endless.
It is worth mentioning that the AI photo generation function has also attracted much attention recently. Users only need to simply upload their own photos, and the system can automatically generate beautiful photos through intelligent recognition technology.
The quality of these photographs, which is simply comparable to the work of professional photo studios, is breathtaking.
But there are also some AI-generated works that are a bit unbearable to look at, distorted and weird, which is really not acceptable to human aesthetics.
The famous Japanese cartoonist Hayao Miyazaki himself has also publicly expressed his dislike for the AI painting style. However, despite such opposition, there are still some netizens who firmly choose to "swim against the current".
They ignored Miyazaki's statements and insisted on using AI technology to imitate Miyazaki's painting style. These AI-generated "Miyazaki" style paintings make people wonder how the old man would have felt if he saw it.
Seeing the beautiful comics drawn by Hayao Miyazaki himself, but now they are imitated by AI technology on the Internet, this contrast is really emotional.
This is not only an imitation of Miyazaki's personal style, but also seems to be some kind of "insult" to his artistic creation. However, even in this context, there are still many netizens who are keen to imitate this style of painting, forming a trend of following the trend, and even suspected of infringement.
The use of AI should also be mindful of boundaries
Entertainment belongs to entertainment, but the issue of AI being used and infringing is indeed worthy of attention. Fortunately, recently, everyone has begun to see that AI technology also has a bad side, and resist those who abuse AI technology to do bad things. However, similar problems still occur from time to time.
In January 2019, there were many photos of female celebrities, which were used by people with intentions to make some videos using the "face swapping" technology, and then spread them publicly, which brought them a lot of harm.
The abusive videos were quickly taken down due to their bad impact, but the discussion on the matter has become more and more intense, condemning the excesses. Surprisingly, despite the high noise, the phenomenon of "AI face swapping" has been repeatedly banned.
Not only the actresses in the domestic entertainment industry have suffered from it, but even many well-known actresses on the international stage have not been spared. Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has publicly criticized someone for using her work to make face-swapping videos. Many other European and American actresses have also fallen victim to this vile behavior.
Although they are brave enough to speak out, they are powerless against these endless "small videos". With every deletion, a new one will always pop up, like an endless nightmare.
Even singer Taylor Swift was not spared, and her AI "private photos" were once spread wildly, and even attracted the attention of a White House spokesperson in the United States.
What's even more shocking is that this kind of bad behavior is not only aimed at actresses, but also for ordinary people. Some people just took the subway innocently, but they were maliciously photographed as "private photos" and widely disseminated.
Although the software has been banned, there are still many alternatives on the market that continue to fuel this unhealthy trend.
What's even more distressing is that some girls have even been changed into "private" videos by AI and spread them abroad. In today's era of highly developed AI algorithms, fake rumors are almost irrefutable for ordinary people, making people feel deeply helpless.
In addition to wanton invasion of privacy, AI face-swapping technology may also be used in criminal activities such as financial fraud. Employees of a multinational company in Hong Kong were confronted with a strange video conference:
With the exception of himself, the rest of the participants turned out to be all computer-generated illusions. As a result, he was defrauded of a huge sum of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Even a female internet celebrity in Ukraine has spoken out, saying that her photos are used a lot of AI face swaps. Criminals used her face to fabricate a series of non-existent Russian "influencers" in order to deceive attention and popularity.
epilogue
The controversy over Huawei's Pura70's AI technology has also reminded other mobile phone companies that although it is good to pursue technological novelty and progress, there must be a bottom line for doing things.
Technology is supposed to make people's lives easier and faster, not to invade privacy. When promoting the development of science and technology, we must also think about its impact on society, law, and morality, and let science and technology really bring benefits to mankind.
