We are not related to Loopy Avatar. We trained our own models. It's a coincidence that they launched yesterday. In the AI/research community, people often try to use the same examples so that it's easier to compare performance across different models.

You should watch out for Hedra and Sync. Plus a bunch of Loopy activity on Discord.

Putting Drake as a default avatar is just begging to be sued. Please remove pictures of actual people!

Ya, this is tricky. Our stance is the people should be able to make funny, parody videos with famous people.

i wonder how long would it take for this technology to advance to a point where nice people from /r/freefolk would be able to remake seasons 7 and 8 of Game of Thrones to have a nice proper ending? 5 years, 10?

Love this one as well. It's a painting of Trithemius, a German monk, who actually said that

Although I assume he didn't say it in British English ;-)

No, probably not haha ;-)

Have to say, whilst this tech has some creepy aspects, just playing about with this my family have had a whole sequence of laughs out loud moments - thank you!

I tried making this short clip [0] of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen announcing the beginning of the clone war, and it's almost fine, but the last frame somehow completely breaks.

Damn - I took an (AI) image that I "created" a year ago that I liked and then you animated it AND let it sing Amazing Grace. Seeing IS believing this technology pretty much means video evidence ain't necessarily so.

We're definitely moving into a world where seeing is no longer believing

I tried with the drake and drake saying some stuff and while its cool, its still lacking, like his teeth are disappearing partially :S

Agreed! The teeth can be problematic. The good news is we just need to train at higher resolution (right now we are at 320x320px), and that should resolve the teethe issue.

So far, we have purposely trained on low resolution to make sure we get the gross expressions / movements right. The final stage of training with be using higher resolution training data. Fingers crossed.
