Artificial Intelligence Creates Realistic Pictures of People
Can anyone tell me if it's reasonable to think this technology might substantially replace or augment movie CGI in the future? I have no domain experience with CGI or graphical simulation, but I have a passing interest as an occasional admirer of what shows up on /r/simulated.Does modern CGI make use of machine learning like this? If not, what does it have in common aside from significant use of GPUs? What are the computational intensive parts of CGI, and what are the heavily manual and labor intensive parts of the CGI development workflow?
