Below the first Results header is a carousel of images. If you tap the arrows you can explore — I believe there are three examples where the final image is a person who’s face was applied from a reference photo.
Yes. But. The reference photo is blurred. The smallest details matter for faces! That's the whole point. I have no doubt you can do a kind-of-looks-like faces. But this is the same issue since Dreambooth. All the IP transfer approaches, even the best like Ideogram's, are failing on faces.
There's two images where the face is transferred to the final image. The references images with blurred faces are all being used for a different reference; the pose, or "necklace", etc.
The faces are blurred in every image unless they explicitly want the face transferred to the final image, at least that's how it seems.
Both of these show a man's face in a source image being used in a newly generated image. I agree that it isn't complicated, but you seem to be drawing different conclusions to everyone else here.
If your point is that it can't perform face transfer, you seem to be wrong - that's what's happening here. If your point is that the blurred photos used for other parts of the input mean that this suggests the model may get confused by other faces, then that's a fair point, but it seems clear they have demonstrated face transfer, and requiring blurring irrelevant faces seems a minor point compared to transferring the face that's intended. I'm not sure how that would really impact use-cases.
Well. If they had working face / human character transfer, listen, my dude, every single image would show a face transfer. It's one of the biggest challenges.
We might eventually see the code for the models and inference, but I do doubt we’ll see training code or be granted access to training data. Google is pretty bad at this.
My eyes are so tired... I read it as "TolkienVerse" (wishful thinking took over actual letters I guess) and I thought WOW!!!!! that is amazing!!!!
When I clicked and saw "a dog wearing a hat".. uff...

Seems like you could apply similar ideas to text too.
It would be a huge invention, but they did not achieve that.

I don’t understand why they keep making these announcements and then just sitting on the results.
This is an immediately commercially useful product even as an API. You could make a mobile app for kids to “create their own cartoon story”.
Someone else will have to reproduce this for it to see the light of day.
So why not automate the attachment of images to concentrate on the more important tasks? I hope the code will be available soon!
Overall the example images still look like overly corporate slop.
