Comment on BBC documentary used face-swapping AI to hide protesters' identitiesparent

Same as what would happen if a real person looked like another real person, I presume.

Until one is made aware that the faces are all fictional, then it becomes very hard to justify any investigation into any particular face.

How likely is a match anyway? My impression is that even with large databases, faces are different enough to not be overwhelmed by hits. But then it's not as if I've used these systems so I don't know.

One step they could take is make one or more properties subtly different so that it definitely matches virtually nobody (plus then all the other features one can randomize).
