Nice save way not to say "New Deeper Fakes - now full body!". This is hardly just about dancing. This can be used to create anyone doing anything. The quality will improve, far beyond the quality levels of the hands now and the other interpolated body parts far past the quality necessary for games.

Yep.

The real consequence of this is that video footage is no longer a reliable source.

So things can AI do now

- Mimic a target's body motions (this link)

- Mimic a target's facial expressions (deepfakes)

- Mimic a target's voice (lyrebird AI, etc)

related video, digital animation puppeteering

Its not perfect by any means, but we're seeing a new age of CGI. Once perfected, I wonder how the entertainment industry will change as a result (Faster rendering times, less time to make scenes, puppeteering, not needing expensive famous actors or stunt doubles, digital identity copyrights, etc)

Probably because they're not powerful enough to render the video yet.

Wouldn't the solution to that be to render in the cloud?

Then your problem becomes 'How to you monetize an app that costs us $20 in GPU cloud time every time someone taps a button'

Oh man, the first company to put this in a mobile app is going to blow up. (I guess it might take a few years for the performance to get there)

Isn’t there a patent / copyright or something for taking all the algorithms / structures in the tech stack that this relies on? (GAN , densePOSE , etc)

Is any tech that is published in arxiv just free game immediately? Seems unfair to the researchers

Maybe Uber will be interested!! They could embed it in their drivers cars

As many other comments have said, the title is misleading; the key quotation is: "(...) allows anyone to portray themselves as a world-class ballerina (...)" Moreover, after AlphaGO took away Go from us, I started to wonder "what is left" for humans, and I believe that we are centuries away to have machines that achieve world class dancing level. My reasoning is than in things like Go, image or speech recognition, it…

> I believe that we are centuries away to have machines that achieve world class dancing level People said the same about Go. There are AIs that can compose enjoyable music already.

Robotics is a bit harder than board games.
