Facial recognition technology has advanced to a level that’s equal parts amazing and eerie. It’s not just the NSA keeping tabs on our every move, but also a tool with serious military potential—one that could target threats before they even make a move. This all sounds like pure Big Brother, and while it’s disturbing, it does serve one purpose that’s genuinely fun: face swaps!
Today, phones offer facial recognition to unlock without a passcode. But when it’s not quite accurate, they had to come up with a new use for it: the hilarious and unsettling face swap. Thanks to this tech, you can see what you’d look like with your friend’s face, and the results are both cringeworthy and funny.
Yet, even in these playful swaps, the uncanny aspect of the technology shines through. From fish to cats, electrical outlets, food, and t-shirts, cameras can recognize almost anything as a “face,” creating face swaps that are weirdly disturbing. Some of these look like creations that would unsettle even the most open-minded. Dive into these unsettling yet hilarious face swaps below!
