            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>We built AI to outfit 70,000 athletes — now we’re fixing fashion</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*KkCR_Pi8BpiNA17iy0hnRQ.png" /></figure><p>Every returned item is a pain. As online shoppers, we know the frustration of ordering clothes and finding they don’t fit. As online sellers, you know the cost every time something comes back.</p><p>Stats are brutal:</p><ul><li>Up to <strong>30% return rates</strong> for some retailers and clothing categories according to <a href="https://www.shopify.com/enterprise/blog/ecommerce-returns">Shopify</a></li><li><strong>16.9%</strong> average e-commerce return rate in 2024, according to <a href="https://nrf.com/research/2024-consumer-returns-retail-industry">NRF/Happy Returns</a></li><li><strong>66% of retailers</strong> now charge return fees, but are still losing money</li></ul><p>Adding a virtual fitting room to your online shop can reduce returns and boost your conversion rates. The problem is that most clothes try-on solutions are either prohibitively expensive or comically basic.</p><p>That’s why we’re exploring a smarter, more realistic option-one that’s accurate, affordable, and built for real people.</p><h3>What our virtual try-on actually does</h3><figure><img alt="AI-generated virtual try-on showing a red ‘THIS IS ME’ T-shirt applied to a model using virtual fitting technology" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*yz0w8lqUZkYchjaMrkPfZw.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="Virtual try-on demo showing traditional Mexican dress applied to a model using AI outfit simulation technology" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*wc0p2lwxh217OZMOV7i7Kg.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="AI-powered virtual try-on replacing a red carpet dress with a brown wrap dress on a model using outfit simulation technology" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NqXIfGziRREl5argdhOeVA.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="Virtual try-on example applying matching yellow football jerseys to two male models using AI clothing simulation" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9SgLF-QD7dEB12o3nA5nqA.png" /></figure><p>Our tech shows people how clothes will look on their bodies-not on models with impossible proportions.</p><p>You see how AI understands how fabrics fall across different body shapes. When your customer uploads a photo, our system maps their unique body shape and applies realistic fabric physics. For example, a T-shirt drapes differently on someone with broad shoulders than it does on someone with a narrower frame, and jeans hug curves differently depending on the hip-to-waist ratio.</p><h3>What works (and what we’re improving)</h3><figure><img alt="AI virtual try-on showcasing a tailored blue plaid blazer on a male model, replacing a black sequin outfit" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*M-DQjCgqblIYpdWSmzr6uQ.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="Virtual try-on example replacing cropped jeans with wide-leg denim on a red carpet photo using AI fashion simulation" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0fmWwtz0RB15MZLrV63J9Q.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="AI outfit try-on replacing a graphic tee with a floral printed blouse on a street-style model photo" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*SS_hQVXdm6pUB5LWMmgzwA.png" /></figure><p>Let’s be straight: our AI is impressive, but it’s not magic. We’re still perfecting it.</p><p>Right now, it handles most everyday clothing well. But it may get confused by intricate details like lace cuffs and complex patterns, textures, or colors.</p><p>Virtual try-ons aren’t a trend-they’re becoming the norm. Brands that act now won’t just cut costs-they’ll lead the next wave of customer experience. Your competitors know it. The question is: will you lead the pack or play catch-up?</p><p><strong>It’s an early-stage opportunity.</strong> If you’re a fashion brand, retailer, or e-commerce seller curious about what’s next, we want to hear from you.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jLCIQaZ91ZxH0G1MZ963sg.png" /></figure><p>Creating hundreds of unique characters for a rugby game is a massive undertaking for any game dev team. <a href="https://www.distinctivegames.com/">Distinctive Games</a> found a solution using AI-generated faces that changed their entire approach to character design.</p><h3>Why creating diverse game characters is game dev hell</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*3G0Oef1lfpeG8QGz00D4yg.png" /></figure><p>Rugby is massive worldwide, with women’s rugby exploding (2.7 million players globally). When Distinctive Games decided to add female characters to <a href="https://www.distinctivegames.com/rugby-nations-24">Rugby Nations</a> for the first time, they <strong>doubled </strong>their workload overnight. Their “Sports Games for Everyone” motto meant they couldn’t compromise on diversity either.</p><p>Traditional character design? Prohibitively expensive. Hand-crafting every rugby player would’ve destroyed their budget. Face-scanning hundreds of people wasn’t feasible. Mobile memory constraints made everything exponentially harder. Classic game development nightmare.</p><h3>How AI-generated faces became the solution</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*md-tSvkgNrWNnz4Lyfp3eA.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://generated.photos/">Generated Photos</a> solved their core problem. This AI character design platform creates photorealistic faces without requiring traditional photography workflows.</p><p>Their process:</p><ul><li><strong>Select</strong> faces during virtual casting sessions based on diversity requirements</li><li><strong>Import </strong>AI generated faces into Reallusion Character Creator</li><li><strong>Generate </strong>3D models with standard post-processing</li><li><strong>Integrate </strong>into existing game pipeline</li></ul><blockquote><em>“We could quickly and inexpensively create as many player faces as we needed,” they explained.</em></blockquote><p>The approach addressed their main challenge: efficient 3D character design within realistic budgets.</p><h3>3D character design workarounds that don’t break mobile</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XN4QPEu7lU65frARLdvTTA.png" /></figure><p>Here’s where it gets impressive. They created ~100 unique heads + 25 hairstyles + 10 hair colors + facial hair options. That’s thousands of combinations, but mobile devices would crash trying to store all that data.</p><p>Their solution? Custom technology that fits any hairstyle to any head in real-time. No pre-baked assets consume memory. Just intelligent algorithms handling the heavy lifting, including rugby headguards and facial hair integration.</p><p>This isn’t just clever-it’s essential. Mobile game dev means working within brutal memory constraints, and they absolutely nailed the execution.</p><h3>Reallusion integration workflow</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*X_hs7CcHVhR35LUTV9Z6IQ.png" /></figure><p>The <a href="https://www.reallusion.com/character-creator/">Reallusion Character Creator</a> pipeline proved clutch.</p><blockquote><em>Import AI generated faces → </em><a href="https://icons8.com/blog/articles/turn-generated-photos-into-3d/"><em>get detailed 3D models</em></a><em> → minor Photoshop cleanup → Unity integration</em></blockquote><p>The initial output quality is “amazing,” according to the team.</p><p>This workflow shows how modern game devs can leverage AI tools without losing quality. No more choosing between budget constraints and character diversity.</p><h3>Female character design beyond basic stereotypes</h3><p>Adding female rugby player representation was huge for the franchise. AI-generated faces delivered the ethnic and age diversity needed for authentic female character design way beyond basic stereotypes.</p><p>The tech enabled them to represent women’s rugby properly, which matters when your sport is genuinely global and inclusive.</p><h3>Why this actually matters for game dev</h3><p>Smaller studios can now pull off character diversity that rivals AAA productions, while Distinctive Games proves you can solve authentic representation vs budget reality without making excuses.</p><p>The math that actually works:</p><ul><li><strong>Cost Reality</strong>. Skip expensive photography setups</li><li><strong>Scale Factor.</strong> Create hundreds of characters without going broke</li><li><strong>Representation.</strong> Actually diverse faces instead of the same 5 archetypes</li><li><strong>Technical Win</strong>. Solves mobile memory problems</li></ul><p>Their approach shows how video game development can adopt AI character design tools, plus established solutions like Reallusion Character Creator, without everything falling apart. They focused on fixing real problems instead of chasing trends.</p><blockquote><em>“We would have loved to include more, and we’ll be adding more over time,” they said.</em></blockquote><p>Classic dev reality-ship what works, iterate forever.</p><p>AI-generated faces tech keeps improving, and character creation workflows will probably get better as tools evolve. Studios are still figuring out authentic representation within actual constraints, but <strong>Rugby Nations</strong> proves these tools can fix specific game development problems.</p><p>Generated Photos plus Reallusion Character Creator worked for their needs. It’s one solid option for how to make your own character in modern game development. AI tools are just part of the toolkit now-useful when they actually solve problems instead of just looking impressive in demos.</p><p><strong>About the author</strong><br>Alexander Dallow.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*dEixQasjcnZtK9tRsMsnGQ.png" /></figure><p><em>AI image generators exploded. Turns out, most people don’t just want to see themselves with new haircuts.</em></p><p>Over the past five years, AI image generation has surged — bigger models, sharper images, jaw-dropping realism. But while headlines talk about art, business headshots, and digital twins, there’s a quieter truth sitting in the backend statistics: a huge chunk of that growth is driven by something much simpler. Desire.</p><p>Adult content — or at least sexually charged imagery — has been one of the biggest forces behind the adoption and evolution of generative AI. It’s not a new pattern, either. VHS didn’t beat Betamax because of picture quality. Streaming services weren’t propelled forward by indie cinema alone. Throughout tech history, wherever there’s a screen, there’s been a race to fill it with something a little more provocative.</p><p>And generative AI? No exception.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*7EckLO9k_JKHEyZGRZSrYw.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*rncm3DNneAxMav4lFRmDCw.jpeg" /></figure><h3>Quick reality check: what people actually generate</h3><p>Look under the hood of almost any popular AI generator, and you’ll find a pattern: requests lean heavily into idealized, sexualized, and fantasy-driven images. We’ve seen it firsthand (more on that later). In short, while AI content officially sells itself as “professional,” the user base often quietly asks for “beautiful,” “wealthy-looking,” “sexy.” Old needs, new tools.</p><p>And it’s not just isolated users quietly testing boundaries — whole communities have sprung up around it:</p><ul><li><strong>Reddit communities</strong> dedicated to NSFW AI generations regularly outpace their safe-for-work counterparts in engagement.</li><li><strong>Sites like Unstable Diffusion</strong> (ironically named) launched explicitly to enable uncensored image generation after bigger platforms cracked down.</li><li><strong>Popular open-source models like Stable Diffusion</strong> have entire forks built solely for adult content generation.</li></ul><p>Even platforms that officially ban explicit content have their prompt systems flooded with soft suggestions — “elegant,” “seductive,” “luxurious,” “model-like,” “dreamy.” Call it what you want, but the instinct is there.</p><h3>The ethical and legal pushback</h3><p>Of course, a new wave of tech brings new problems. With AI’s ability to produce hyper-realistic faces and bodies, ethical concerns quickly followed:</p><ul><li>Child protection and the absolute necessity of strict content moderation.</li><li>Deepfake misuse and the creation of non-consensual imagery.</li><li>Unrealistic beauty standards pushed even further beyond human reach.</li><li>Potential disruptions in industries like sex work and modeling.</li></ul><p>Governments and major platforms are already trying to regulate. App Store and Google Play policies forced mobile apps into heavy content filtering. OpenAI, Midjourney, and Stability AI are all discussing — or have implemented — tighter NSFW generation controls.</p><p>And yet, users keep finding workarounds. Demand doesn’t vanish just because moderation policies exist.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*hNSOSVhv4dd-dZtrZaa1Dg.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*YdaS0h_DtFr5vc3BitS1Cw.jpeg" /></figure><h3>How the market is adapting</h3><p>With mobile app restrictions tightening, much of the more “adventurous” AI generation has quietly moved to web platforms. Web services aren’t tied to the same App Store/Google Play rules and can offer more freedom, within reasonable ethical and legal limits.</p><p>At the same time, even the big players are inching toward reality. <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/openai-is-exploring-how-to-responsibly-generate-ai-porn/">OpenAI recently hinted</a> that allowing more adult-themed generations might be on the horizon, because pretending the demand isn’t there just doesn’t work forever.</p><p>And while regulation is absolutely necessary for protecting people, pretending that humans won’t use AI to chase beauty, fantasy, and connection would be…well, naive.</p><h3>GenYOU story</h3><p>When we first built <a href="https://generated.photos/genyou">GenYOU as a mobile app</a>, we played by the rules: strict NSFW filters, business-friendly image templates, and a lot of caution. And it made sense — app stores have zero tolerance for mistakes in that area.</p><p>But the data spoke louder — 30 to 50% of queries triggered the NSFW filters.<br>We saw that users weren’t just looking for polished profile pictures. They wanted something more personal. More confident. More glamorous. Sometimes a little bit sexier.</p><p>Here’s how user interests break down across common query themes:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XbJmLGNHNJ-k5QaHHjoTbg.png" /><figcaption>Apparently, AI users have other ‘professional needs’ too</figcaption></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*STn0JJ5aR3yfYWZfaNxUQg.png" /><figcaption>GenYOU prompts span the full spectrum of sensual curiosity</figcaption></figure><p>It’s not about creating explicit content for the sake of it. It’s about people wanting to see themselves as idealized, enhanced, dreamlike versions of themselves. That’s as old as mirrors themselves.</p><p>That’s why we built the <a href="https://generated.photos/genyou/app">web version of GenYOU</a> — to give users a bit more breathing room. Without the heavy-handed restrictions of app stores, we can allow for tasteful, adult-leaning generations, while still keeping everything legal, ethical, and respectful.</p><p>Same easy process — just a little more freedom to be as gorgeous, bold, or extravagant as you want.</p><h3>Some things don’t change</h3><p>Technology moves fast. Human nature stays put.</p><p>Every new breakthrough, sooner or later, gets pulled into the same timeless themes: attraction, beauty, fantasy, curiosity. AI generation is just another tool in that long tradition — sharper, faster, and maybe a little more daring.</p><p>Some will celebrate it, some will worry about it. Both reactions are fair. But either way, it’s here, and people are already figuring out how to push its limits.</p><p>If you’re wondering what that looks like in practice, <a href="https://generated.photos/genyou/app">GenYOU web</a> is one place to start.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=09908c79be70" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos/adult-content-built-the-internet-now-its-building-generative-ai-too-09908c79be70">Adult content built the internet.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AI influencers are everywhere, but creating one can get messy fast — think lawsuits over likeness rights or copyright issues.</p><p>Want to build an AI persona without the legal headaches? This guide breaks down how to create unique visuals and keep everything on board.</p><h3>Understanding likeness rights</h3><p>Creating an AI influencer isn’t just about generating a pretty face — it’s about ensuring that face doesn’t belong to anyone else. Likeness rights protect individuals from having their image or features used without consent. Using a real person’s face, even unintentionally, can lead to lawsuits for impersonation or unauthorized use.</p><p>Photo stocks might seem like an easy fix, but they’re not a solution. Most stock photos feature real people whose images are covered by limited-use licenses, and those don’t include building AI personas. To avoid legal trouble, you need a face that’s unique and doesn’t exist in real life.</p><h3>Step 1: Generate a unique face</h3><p>The first step in building an AI influencer is creating a face that doesn’t exist. You need something completely original to avoid any overlap with real people — and the legal headaches that come with it.</p><p>Enter <a href="https://gogp.ai/gKljy"><strong>Face Generator</strong></a>. The tool’s interface is straightforward and gives you full control.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*pdebyCc6-HavNEuBYdvt8Q.png" /></figure><p>You can start by browsing the <a href="https://gogp.ai/EGnDm"><strong>Face Gallery</strong></a>, which has over 2 million AI-generated faces. It’s like a treasure hunt — you scroll, pick a face that feels right, and then fine-tune it to match your vision.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fCZK67Iem9rr2iZq9v3skw.png" /></figure><p>I ended up choosing this one. It felt like the perfect starting point for my influencer.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*dP1X-4O26y3BtHl3EzVv8g.png" /></figure><p>Once the face was ready, it was time to move on to creating full-body visuals.</p><h3>Step 2: Create portraits with similar face</h3><p>An AI influencer isn’t just about having the perfect face — you need to give them a full look to make them feel real. That’s where <a href="https://gogp.ai/dpe5C"><strong>Human Generator</strong></a> comes in. It lets you create full-body visuals that match the face you’ve already generated, making the persona feel complete.</p><p>I started by uploading the face I picked earlier into Human Generator. From there, I explored different portrait poses where the face stayed front and center. You can tweak everything — body type, posture, and even clothing.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NQRbw0yBi8E9951PjK2wWw.png" /></figure><p>I also adjusted the background to make it less distracting, so the focus stayed on the influencer. Once I had a few good variations, everything started to come together. These portraits added so much personality to the project and made the influencer feel like more than just a floating face.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*LlmIlwwgsA4XAzwy2MQL0Q.png" /></figure><p>Next up: turning these visuals into social media-ready content.</p><h3>Step 3: Style your influencer for social media</h3><p>Now it’s time to turn your AI influencer into a social media-ready star. With <a href="https://gogp.ai/n2VgU"><strong>GenYOU</strong></a>, the process is simple and surprisingly fun.</p><p>Start by uploading portraits you created earlier. From there, pick a template that fits the vibe — whether it’s casual, professional, or something bold. Want to make it more personal? Add a custom prompt to tweak the style further, like trying out trendy outfits or themed looks.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jCGJoiKlszqKZ5jBCx_9iw.png" /></figure><p>You can also adjust the stylization level, from realistic to something more creative. GenYOU even lets you match aspect ratios for specific platforms, so your influencer’s content looks great everywhere, from Instagram to LinkedIn.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*aTg83h2GIlTLEcC5nwVbiw.png" /></figure><p>Once everything’s set, fine-tune the details like lighting or colors to bring it all together. And just like that, your AI influencer is ready to take on the socials.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*bZFFJlLeVQbfzOUtoebW4A.png" /></figure><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Building an AI influencer sounds wild, but honestly? It’s easier than it looks if you’ve got the right tools. From generating a unique face to putting together full-body visuals and finally styling them for social media, it all comes together step by step. And the best part? You don’t need to worry about the legal stuff if you follow this guide.</p><p>I used Face Generator, Human Generator, and GenYOU to make it happen — and it’s been a game-changer. Now it’s your turn to try it out and see what you can create.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0Uni5taYO3j5b_r8_luI6A.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*h8o19nEIkcksVK-17K8OZQ.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XWD0vGWEv-qPK2GDLVMCOw.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DvIFFld9pqeVLUTTxOdS9A.png" /></figure><p><strong>Ready to give it a shot?

But we’re not talking about random landscapes or fantasy art — we’re talking about <em>you</em>. Selfie, avatar, headshot generators— I’ve tried them all. And yet, the results? More of a “look-alike,” some weird long-lost cousin, or me at 40. Close, but not quite there.</p><p>Most AI generators just don’t nail your facial features.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>…and one perfect match</em></p><p>Halloween season hits different when you’re indecisive. Every year, I find myself drowning in costume ideas. My Pinterest board? Packed. My budget and time? Not so much.</p><p>This year, I decided to work smarter. If I can’t try on ten costumes in real life, maybe AI can help me preview them?</p><p>Challenge accepted! Armed with Google and determination, I dove into the world of AI generators.</p><h4>OpenArt</h4><p>Talk about feature overload! You can add references for style, pose, composition, and face. Sounds great, right? Well...</p><p>I tried recreating that iconic Jennifer’s Body scene — you know, white dress, blood, creepy vibes. First attempt? Not terrible, but that face wasn’t mine.</p><figure><img alt="halloween costume megan fox" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*G2avrojHP7Znk7lBkSCjYw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Added a pose reference and suddenly I had clones. Cool for a horror movie, not for a costume preview.</p><figure><img alt="bad ai generated image" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*rMj5Zc4mRIj6Cf09dAxAyg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Tried Caroline next. The result was blurry, it looked like I took the photo while running from actual monsters.</p><figure><img alt="portrait of Caroline halloween costume" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*SMrsoiJdn6XJhc4kiD_qnw.jpeg" /></figure><p>When I switched AI models? Let’s just say my face went places it never should.</p><p>Seems like it works well without any reference images. But the main point for me is to see myself in those costumes.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*NAnzXcny6XGxHjMIFf6Sow.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/672/1*jz3_uLGpBXmC5KbREBLpZQ.jpeg" /></figure><h4>LightX Editor</h4><p>Clean interface, only needs one selfie. Simple! Their Halloween section caught my eye, but something felt off.</p><p>The generated images looked like that distant cousin everyone says you totally look like (but you don’t see it).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*hG5Rt3l5oTdGNHRRSUTSTQ.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*a3pwfhTYogiZyVuIvyKxKA.jpeg" /></figure><p>And I tried Jennifer’s prompt but added ‘full body portrait’ to it. That didn’t quite work:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*M4orVq6Ev5X-2pvLkt87Qw.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*N9GSknCBBjqfZuCum0DZRg.jpeg" /></figure><h4>Fotor</h4><p>It was… an experience. It’s like Photoshop’s AI feature had too much Halloween candy.</p><p>My “vampire costume” prompt turned into something not even a costume. And, you can’t download without paying.</p><figure><img alt="fotor screenshot" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*UDG_tyr7Il7Qf43XcpC_gg.png" /></figure><h4>GenYOU</h4><p>Nothing worked for me really. My only request was to find an app that allows me to generate those costumes with my face and not a look-a-like.</p><p>As I have the access to beta version of GenYOU, I went there as the last resort. Am I working at <a href="https://generated.photos/">Generated Photos</a> for nothing, or what?😅</p><p>It needs only 4 selfies to create an AI model that will represent you. And that’s what I’ve done.</p><figure><img alt="genyou mobile app interface" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_cJs_9TWMuwpC1BmZPB3Aw.png" /></figure><p>There’s a whole Halloween section in styles. I went straight right there.</p><p>The templates are fun and cute.</p><p>And I can finally see how I will look in the actual costume!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*PykS9r-5By96Tvzy1GgonA.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*F6xBcx3rw6bCLfzBT0Usvw.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*eq0RlLa4tOZJPMg0FUb8vw.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*ZaJqCNRaRDw7nqxCJLo7tg.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*NLtG3Qf76XAyjFqDYK-FPA.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/832/1*GsZJTmSYRmFvln-KGszSmA.jpeg" /></figure><p>I like how detailed these are… And I see myself really wearing most of these. But here’s my favorite one so far:</p><figure><img alt="carrie halloween costume" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*TzCPNYDFSswvKkt9bx8_YQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Sometimes you have to kiss a few AI frogs to find your prince. Or in this case, try a bunch of generators to find one that won’t turn you into a distant relative.</p><p><a href="https://gogp.ai/Yj8of"><strong>Download GenYOU to try yourself</strong></a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=4a61c2a8b89d" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos/testing-ai-costume-generators-a-story-of-mistaken-identity-4a61c2a8b89d">Testing AI costume generators: a story of mistaken identity</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos">Generated Photos</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Generated Photos offers innovative solutions for face perception research and real-world challenges. Today, we explore how our synthetic images have been instrumental in combating human trafficking, demonstrating the power and effectiveness of our technology.</p><h4>Human trafficking</h4><p>Human trafficking is a global crisis, affecting millions, including children. Identifying and protecting these victims is complex and requires sophisticated tools. Traditional methods often use real human images, which raise significant ethical concerns about privacy and consent. This is where Generated Photos steps in, offering a promising alternative.</p><h4>The power of AI-generated photos</h4><p>Our synthetic images can be tailored to display a wide range of facial features, expressions, and demographics. The primary advantage is their ability to provide diverse, ethically sound datasets that avoid the privacy issues associated with real human images.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Master every detail of your AI-generated photos for precise design alignment.</em></p><p>The internet offers a plethora of image generators to cater to every preference. Simply input a prompt and witness the AI craft visuals in minutes. While casual uses like memes demand less precision, professional content creation requires specificity. But how can you ensure the AI delivers exactly what you need?</p><p>You can enhance your prompting skills. Here’s <a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos/the-creators-guide-to-ai-image-generation-db2c54c865e1">an article with essential tips for more effective prompts</a>. Or save time with a generator that includes preset settings.</p><h4>Purpose of AI-generated images</h4><p>Imagine a task: designing a UI for a mobile app catering to online courses. You’ve determined the frames, colors, and layout for the course tab options.</p><figure><img alt="UI mockup for educational app" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*2SNPiHgQQEtCZ_xbaeIkow.png" /></figure><p>To showcase, you need content. Assume the target market is Indonesia. Let’s generate the UX copy with ChatGPT to align the mockup with the specific case.</p><figure><img alt="UI mockup for educational app" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*mSdh-UZqBTm2NiAyS4ccsw.png" /></figure><p>However, it lacks images of our course expert. The UI needs three varied photos of this expert, who must appear trustworthy to prospective users.</p><h4>Defining the expert’s identity</h4><p>Begin with Human Generator, which initially offers a random image. Reset all settings to start afresh.</p><figure><img alt="human generator canvas" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*N-DHKoXPADoRoVCT_njlpQ.png" /></figure><p>I decided to go for Indonesian middle-aged woman dressed in brown. Using dropdowns and sliders to specify traits. Start with a standing pose.</p><figure><img alt="ai human generator" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZPSnvSpX9M_BEEPKcvxaJA.png" /></figure><blockquote><strong>Pro tip</strong>: If the initial result isn’t quite right, consider clicking the “Generate variation” button. But if the changes needed are minimal, adjust the settings instead of creating a new variation. This approach ensures the generated image remains consistent with the original human type.</blockquote><h4>Perfecting the appearance</h4><p>Dress the expert formally with wide-leg pants and oxfords. If the first result isn’t perfect, tweak settings rather than generating new variations to maintain consistency.</p><figure><img alt="ai generated woman" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vXmtq83sdtinS-vGu_SIAw.png" /></figure><p>Upon setting the attire, the generator might select a fitting background like an oriental-styled office, even if it wasn’t pre-set.</p><p>Adjustments like replacing the basque with a suitable shirt enhance the appearance. Set the background to a vintage room, adding “in coffeeshop” to the prompt to reflect the sample course context.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*A5-E_MJCy0B8zJX9kTamNQ.png" /></figure><p>Add “closed smile” to the prompt and “showing teeth” to the negative prompt to perfect the smile without it appearing overly broad.</p><figure><img alt="mockup with ai generated human" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*RH00UDYEOP8WG8LuP9Bu1w.png" /></figure><h4>Consistency across different poses</h4><p>Generate additional images with the same identity but in varied contexts. Change the background to a studio for a sitting pose, and remove irrelevant details from prompts, like earrings.</p><figure><img alt="poses for generating human" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*-jkasRKVKfilB5FBW6k5WQ.png" /></figure><p>If the identity shifts, upload the previously generated face to maintain consistency. For the profile pic, opt for a neutral backdrop like a white wall.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DoHdY5BproJYclmI6nc8xQ.png" /></figure><h4>And there you have it</h4><p>Within approximately 20 minutes, achieve three realistic, consistent AI-generated photos for your design. The mockup now closely aligns with its intended purpose, ready for presentation.</p><p>By adjusting the Human Generator settings, control every detail as if working with a live model.</p><figure><img alt="app mockup with ai generated woman" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*T28nfvrl_1J5ovcgmt_BIQ.png" /></figure><blockquote>Pro tip: For better quality, use the <a href="https://icons8.com/upscaler">Smart Upscaler</a> for increased contrast in facial features.</blockquote><h4>Try it out</h4><p>Access <a href="https://generated.photos/human-generator">Human Generator</a> to start your project. For additional inspiration, explore the “Human Templates” in the top right corner of the generator interface.</p><figure><img alt="template gallery in human generator" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*mfBBZh4o4qkMt3oX9Ef2jw.png" /></figure><p><em>This article was previously published on </em><a href="https://blog.icons8.com/articles/full-control-over-your-ai-generations/"><em>Icons8’s blog</em></a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=cfc082d78060" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos/taking-control-of-your-ai-generated-images-cfc082d78060">Taking control of your AI-generated images</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/generated-photos">Generated Photos</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
