Now you can invent a social life! AI-generated photos of 'people' at a party look eerily realistic - until you see excessive teeth and fingers and weird tattoos

• Artificial intelligence was given instructions to create images of people at a party - and the results are realistic
• A Twitter user shared the collection that shows women smiling as if looking  at the camera and a group of men raising their cups for a toast
• A closer look reveals several mistakes made by the technology
• These include mouths full of teeth, hands growing out of hips and an excessive amount of fingers that look like alien appendages
  

 

 

Artificial intelligence can now let people invent a social life by creating images that suggest they attended a party that never happened and with friends that do not exist.

 

Twitter user Miles created a realistic-looking collection with the AI system Midjourney, which generated images of women smiling at the camera and men raising their cups for a toast.

 

The images appear to be candid shots of friends at a party, but a closer look may give you nightmares.

 

The 'people' are grinning with mouths full of teeth, hands are growing from hips and tattoos look like mold growing on their skin.

 

However, the excessive amount of fingers has captivated the internet, with one user saying they look like 'a nest of alien appendages sprouting forth to devour their host.'

 

Midjourney is an AI program that creates images from textual descriptions. 

 

This means users type keywords of what they want to be made, and the AI generates the photos based on the theme.

 

Miles shared a thread with the AI party images, the first group showing only women.

 

Two of the photos suggest the women are taking pictures looking in the mirror - one of them is holding up what appears to be a camera.

 

And the other two snaps show candid shots of three friends smiling and looking forward.

 

The 'mirror pics' are a dead giveaway that AI created the images because the 'people' holding the camera have more than the standard five fingers on their hand.

 

Twitter users 'Rural Anarchy' posted: 'Pretty soon, the only way to tell will be to count the fingers. 5 and it's real, 6 it's questionable, 7 and it's definitely AI generated.'

 

Along with too many fingers, the women also have too many teeth. 

 

The following photographs show men, which could have been taken during a weekend house party.

 

A group of three are raising their cups to cheers, but they not only have an excessive amount of fingers, but one of them has a hand growing out of his arm.

 

Twitter user 'David the Pooh' tweeted: 'I love playing 'Who's holding the cup' with my identical triplet bros. It helps distract everyone from the tiny bowl of tiny eggs we bring to every party.' 

 

And while many users laugh at the mistake, Miles found the AI may be biased when creating 'people.'  

 

'I had to be specific in order to get male-looking AI people—and even then, variation is a challenge. It definitely defaults to white people when you ask for 'people,' Miles tweeted.

 

There is one image Midjourney created that looks like it was snapped in real life, but users have spotted mistakes in the eyes.
