- Today we let artificial
intelligence manipulate our faces. - Let's talk about that. (fun theme music) (fire blazing) Good Mythical Morning. - There is a new app called
FaceApp that can transform your face and it transformed my
Instagram feed this weekend when I saw lots of different versions
of people that I follow and I didn't know what was going on. And it turns out they were
using this app from Wireless Lab called FaceApp. Basically it uses machine
learning to predict and apply changes you're intending to make. - Yeah, I saw a collage on
Twitter of someone made of me. It's like
- Yes. - Old and a woman and a A kid.
- Old and a woman. - And I think that was it. - Old, young, lots of different things. - Oh, also hotter.
- Yes. - Which that leads to some controversy. - We will get into that. - We will get into that in
a little bit but first let's experience this app,
- Let's do that. - See what we can make of it. So first you just
- Start with a photo of yourself.
- Take a photo of your face. - [Rhett] Wanna get a good one. - Don't smile though 'cause
you can add that later. (camera clicks)
Okay. Alright, there's me lookin' normal. - [Rhett] There's me lookin' normal. - Now, I don't know, you looked a
little bit like you were trying to look hot already. Let's be honest. - Really? - Like, look, I just
look totally normal, man. - You look dead eyed. I mean, I wanna
- Yeah. - Give 'em some good
material to work with, man.
- No, man. I wanna push the limits of this app. - Alright. I'm gonna make myself old. - Okay, me too. - Oh, gosh. That's what I have to look forward to? - Oh, my goodness. - I look awful. - It's really good at
making people look old. Especially with that gray beard. - Hold on, that's you? - Yeah that's me as an old guy. - But you didn't change that much, man. You look sadder. - Yeah, it gave me more of a frown.
- You're gonna be a sad old man. I'm gonna be a mean old man. I'm definitely not gonna wear
my hair that way anymore, I don't think. - You could still be in some sort of ads. Like a knock off of Dos Equis. - Yeah. I could be like what, like Modelo? - Yeah. - I could be the Modelo man. (laughs) - I mean, I'm just gonna
be on porch unhappy. - I don't always drink Modelo. - But when I... But... - But I do when I'm paid to do so. - When I'm old. - Okay, we've run some famous
NBA players through this to see how they're going to age
starting with Steph Curry. - This is the GNBA. Geriatric National Basketball Association. Look at him. - He looks like Dell. Looks like his dad.
(laughs) No, Dell looks better than that. - He is worn out, man. - As you can see, he's been
working on his body though. He kept his body completely in tact. - Yeah. - He worked out a lot. - Well it's a FaceApp
not a face and body app. - Yeah. - I just wanna clarify. It did not change his body. - (laughing) And here's Russel Westbrook. Whoa.
- Oh, my goodness. - He became Skeletor. Oh, my goodness. - I used to be able to get
like triple doubles like you wouldn't believe. I still do. - Okay, another interesting
thing that this can do and is very useful for me is, as
we've established on this show before, I do not show
my teeth when I smile. But thanks to FaceApp that
is no longer a problem. - Yes, let's make ourselves smile. - Now there's smile and smile two. Smile two is what works
really well for me. - I'm going for smile two. Oh, my goodness. Just looks like a veneer. It looks like someone put
- Yeah. - Fake teeth in there.
- It looks like you got hillbilly teeth on. But look at me. (laughs) - Now that's more like it. - And now you see why I don't ever smile. - I did the regular smile
and look how awkward I look. - Uh, uh, uh. I'm not excited about being here. - I'm kinda nervous, I need to have... - That's nice, look at that. I don't actually have those
cheek things but I got 'em now. - It took away some of
your beard in order to make the smile. - We've also added smiles to
celebrities who never smile starting with Kristen Stewart. - She never smiles. Until right now. Look at that. That's really accurate. Who knows? I've never seen her smile. - I think I like her
better without a smile. Kristen, don't start smiling I know you're watching.
- No, no, no. I like happy Kristen. - But I tell you who it really works for. Kanye. - He never smiles in a photo.
- Look how happy Kanye is. - Wow. - Look how approachable he looks. - Wow. - This isn't a guy who's
looking for Marble conference tables on Twitter, this
is a guy that you just wanna hang with. Look at that. - I bet his music is not as good though. - Oh, really? - You know, something about that-- - He's not cocky enough. He doesn't know how good he is. - Yeah, that cocky angst. - Cocky angst. - That's something that you need. - Let's become women, Link. - Oh, yeah, let's go
back and become ladies. - Oh, my goodness. - You wanna become a baby first? Let's become babies first. - Oh, okay. - Let's become young. - Okay. (laughs) Oh. (laughs) I look like a baby that stuck
his face in something green because it doesn't know exactly
what to do with my beard. But it did a pretty good job. - You have stubble and lipstick. Hallo, I'm little Rhett. Look at me. I look like a pubescent Link. My nose is like... - It looks like you about three years ago. - My nose is kinda, I don't know. It looks swollen. Like it's got acne. Like acne's about to bust out. - Your face doesn't change as
much as I thought it would. - You got a lot younger. You became like a toddler. - And I became like a, I don't know, your chem lab partner in like high school. - Okay. Now let's become women. - Now let's become women. - I always wanted to say that to you. - Now, it only wants you to
add this to a collage but we'll zoom in on this. Now, she looks friendly. - I look so hot. (laughs) - What on earth? - That's what could've happened, man. You could be that's best friend. - I didn't change hardly any. Look at that. (laughs) - What, it doesn't change you, man. - It doesn't change me. If it ain't broke don't fix it. (crew laughs) - But look at how different I look. - You're like a different being. - That's good, isn't it? I'm attracted to me. - Why are you biting your lower
lip, that's a little much. - 'Cause I'm so hot. Look at my hair.
- That's a little much. - My hair looks good and I've
got like up and the bangs. I've got the bangs up.
- Wow, wow. There is hope for you. - Well I'm not planning
on becoming a woman. But what if you take One
Direction, a boy band, and turn them into a girl band? - Send them in the other direction. Well Zayn looks... - Zayn looks hot. (laughs) - Look like Ariana Grande. Harry Styles looks like a hot Miss Piggy. (laughs) Liam looks like she would purchase anything
with the word Unicorn in it. (laughs) You know? I just love anything
with the word Unicorn, I can't resist it.
- Niall has the Link effect. He looks no different. Niall as a woman is Niall as a man. - She definitely owns a flower shop. And is that Louis or Louis? How do you say his name? - Was that Louis or Louis? - [Ellie] Louis! - Louis Tomlinson. Mm. - (laughs) "Mm." All I can say is, "Mm". - Has a Myspace blog called,
What Makes You Miserable. - Okay, now. Let's get into the
controversy around this app. - It's specifically to do with
- We're talkin' 'bout sparking?
- The spark button. Now, the spark button, which
originally was called the hot button and then was changed
to the spark button, as of the recording of this episode, like
literally as we were getting ready to record the button was removed. - Disappeared. - And that is because of the
controversy around whether or not it's racist because it
does two things, people are noticing it does two things. It's supposed to make you hotter, right? But it makes your skin
lighter and it makes your features more European. Which, that's being
perceived as racist because, for obvious reasons. - Yes. - And this is what the CEO
came out and said just today. - You mean Yaroslav Goncharav? - Goncharav. He said, "This is just a side
effect of the neural network." He did say, "We are deeply
sorry for this unquestionably "serious issue. But it is an
unfortunate side effect of the "underlying neural network caused by..." - When in doubt, blame the neural network. - "Neural network caused
by the training set bias, "not intended behavior." So what he's saying is, is
that, hey, the company's not racist, the machines are racist. And the machines are racist
because people are racist. Now, I don't exactly know
how the technology works but basically they're saying
that they're using artificial intelligence the way
people perceive things to make these changes. - And like combing through
pictures in some sort of database or on the internet? - I don't know exactly how it works. - In order to like
artificially determine... - But it's like when you put
a machine, like when they put the, I think it was IBM or
whoever it was, put the machine on Twitter and then all of
a sudden the machine started being very racist because
people were trolling it. - Yes. - So, they have taken this
button off and they're saying they're reworking the whole thing. We don't know if it's gonna
be back anytime soon or if the spark button is gone, but we
can say that while it was still up we used it on ourselves. - Now, let me show you some pictures
of me because I did it here on the set. I think you were messing
around with this last night. - Yes. - But for me, alright,
the first thing I did was, I sparked myself. Just once. - What? - Wanna hang out with him? - No, you look dead inside. - Well, first of all,
it removed my glasses. - Yeah. - You can't be hot with glasses. Thanks.
- I didn't even notice that. Yeah, there's another complaint to lobby. - Took off my glasses? And then it like, I don't know. This guy looks like the good
looking guy from Lost who was the girl's brother. - Yeah. It looks a little bit like a Ken figure. You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah. It's not a real person. - This is me. - Yeah, that's you.
- No. - That's me run through
the spark filter once. - Oh. - What does that? - I guess they just gave you
a really good compliment. (laughs) - It didn't do too much
- Didn't do anything. - But let me show you what
happened when I ran it through seven times. - Oh, my goodness. - Are you sure there's
not some oldness happening in there too? - For some reason it's
darkening under my eyes. First of all, it made my beard smaller. And it did, very obviously,
make my skin lighter because look at what my skin actually
looks like on my neck. - It's red. - It's red. I have like a red complexion. And it's completely removed all of that. And here's what it looks
like when you add a smile. (laughs) - Well at least you're happy about it. (laughs) Alright, now look at me. Here's me sparked and
then I sparked my spark. Which is not much change. I sparked my spark again. - Your face is getting longer. - And then I added a smile.
- Oh! - I'm happy about being sparked. - I wouldn't hang out with that guy. - Alright, and then
- Oh, my goodness. I'd hang out with her though. - I made myself a woman. And I became Allison Williams. (crew laughs) - [Rhett] You did. (laughs) - [Link] I ain't gon' argue with that. - I'm gonna female this. - Hey, I like some Allison Williams. - (laughs) Look what I became. Who is that? Who is that? - I don't know, but
she's going to the prom. (laughs) She's like a side-do. - It gives me prom hair because
my hair already goes up. - It's amazing how we almost-- We look like sisters. - [Rhett] We'd be friends. We'd be best friends.
- Sisters I think. - Okay, we also ran Steve Buscemi. Again, the spark button is
gone but we ran Steve Buscemi through it six times.
- Not just once. But twice, and a third time, and a fourth time, and then finally, bam. Here is a fully sparked Steve Buscemi. Yeah.
- Wow. You're welcome, Steve. (laughs) - And thank you for liking,
commenting, and subscribing. - You know what time it is. - I'm BJ. - I'm Hallie. - And we're here at Flagler College in Saint Augustine, Florida. - It's time to spin the
