Deepfake deluge expected from AI image generation breakthrough (so long, LoRA?)

In the tech world, there’s a buzz around a new AI image generation method called InstantID by the InstantX team in Beijing. This cutting-edge tool has the ability to quickly recognize individuals and generate new images based on a single reference. While some hail it as revolutionary, others like Reuven Cohen, an enterprise AI consultant, believe it will give rise to a flood of deepfake content, which could pose significant concerns. It outpaces previous methods like LoRA and QLoRA and has raised worries about the potential exploitation through its ease of use and efficiency.
