Yeah, I chuckled but the video is still filtered or straight up AI. While the boy brings his hand across his face, his chin does a quantum leap up a few centimeters.
I knew I had trouble distinguishing one asian from other in same gender... But TIL for kids, I can't separate them even if they are from different genders
Don't think players or viewers will get filters, but application of filters has been a thing probably since IG came out. The beauty filters are just the latest variaton.
It's been a thing in China since at least 2008, was built into Samsung/Casio/Olympus/etc. digital cameras by then. Software beauty filters I think were released about the same time
These filters are software-level stuff, so ofc he's talking about Chinese brands. Also the supply chain extends way beyond China. Though assembling is done almost exclusively in China (and to some extent on India too).
Also some of those "smoothing filters" in cheap/old phones can be a result of trying to make up for the lack of detail. I doubt a modern Pixel 9-11 would have a heavy smoothing by default on the main camera, though I might be wrong.
Making your kid look more "beautiful" isnt the same as using a filter to hide their face. The features are all still visible and could easily be recognized on the kids normal face.Β
Dont make this into some noble thing when its not. Its a chinese phone so they all have built in beauty filters. All its doing is fucking peoples self image up.
I feel like people are missing the massive jump in proportions when he runs his hand over his face, it's genuinely disgusting how ingrained this crap is in society. Any product that not only manufacturers, but then preys off these insecurities should not be allowed to exist. But alas.Β
I think this is a slimming filter that makes the face look smaller and smoother; these are adjustments that alter the facial features slightly, and I believe they change the size of the face to make it look slimmer, but not to the extent of making the child look like a different, unrecognisable person.
I think they're using it as basically a more sophisticated mosaic for privacy. It's a really good idea when you think about it. Hell, family Youtubers and such should be required to do this.
Phones have default filters in some countries by default. It's an opt-out feature and not a opt-in feature, and because of that people don't bother turning them off
Can vouch. When I had a Xiaomi 14 Ultra I bought in China, I noticed that the selfie camera was by default in "Beauty/Vibrant" mode which gave me alien like smooth skin and less fatty cheeks alongside whiter skin.
Changing that mode to "Textures" reverted everything.
There are plenty of subs for politics.
There can be unexpected things which happen with politicians, but if someone who does not recognise the individuals would not see the twist then the post likely does not belong here.
There is no need for political debate in comments.
Itβs sad that the person filming felt the need to use a face filter on the boy. That jumping chin when heβs moving his hand across his face is really irritating.
