The discussion here is a lot about 'deep fakes' and where will we be if we can't distinguish fake from real, but this is so obviously fake that I fear we might not care at all.

Even if it were a real young woman, why would anyone look at those obviously fake images? It is like someone from the 90s used paint to paste a random image on some random biker's head.

Also, why go through the trouble of having that hair and a real bike to begin with if the audience's sense for what is real is so low? You might as well take random images of empty parking lots and copy paste random bikes with random bodies and a young Japanese woman's face on them and it would look the same or better.




They look convincing enough to me. And if I saw one while scrolling Instagram, where I see ~3 images a second I definitely wouldn’t notice.
