Is it just me or is the second image ("Happy Birthday Nana") nothing short of amazing? It seems we are crossing the uncanny valley.

This will make it really hard to distinguish manipulated/generated photos in the near future. Wow.

The image is, indeed, amazing. But, IMO, nowadays the uncanny valley lie mainly in moving images. We already got to the level of near perfect visual detail. It's the movement detail that we're missing. The problem comes from micro expressions and little twitches that ehat er're not consciously aware that exist. We're not aware of them to put them in the model, but our brain notices that they're missing.
