Faceapp was one of those apps that hit social media with a storm. It came with a lot of privacy concerns and creepy photos of what we are all likely to look like in the hopefully very distant future. Artificial Intelligence is keeping things interesting and keeping young people occupied online.

In case your curiosity is being roused at this point, you may want to visit the website here. You only need to upload a selfie of yourself and try out the transformation on your image. The website has an interesting widget built by researchers at the MIT-IBM AI Lab.

The site uses an algorithm trained on 45,000 classical portraits to render the uploaded photo in watercolour, faux oil or ink. The database has a large number of styles featuring artists like van Gogh and Rembrandt. Every input on the website produces a different portrait.

The algorithm uses your facial features as a base to generate a whole new portrait. It also uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to generate new features from the scratch. Furthermore, the algorithm decides on the Renaissance style to use depending on the uploaded image. In addition to this, it will most likely have different results for different selfies of the same person uploaded.

The great news for those worried about privacy on the app and AI website is that the researchers promise that they delete the images uploaded immediately after use.
