Let's compare the horror of AI portraits: Apple vs Samsung
AI portraits are generic and dull, but which is more generic or more dull? Let's find out.
My opinion on AI on smartphones this year has shifted dramatically. It went from "interesting", to "some of this is cool", to "most of this is generic slop", and it's sinking further down from there.
One of the features I dislike the most is the AI portrait function, where the device will create animated avatar of your appearance. Because it's AI, it creates multiple versions and you can choose which is the least offensive imitation of your face.
With Apple Intelligence arriving in Australia today, it was one of the first things I checked. But I wanted to compare it with the images produced by Samsung's smartphones when I tested those out earlier this year.
So which is better? Or should I ask, "which makes me look more like a person you would cross the street to avoid?"
Let's find out.
