The AI image generator Midjourney has a new feature called Character References

You can create a character like this funny superhero...

And then reuse the same character in new images. It's a big deal for illustrators! But...

It also creates a risk of easy deepfakes. I used this real image of me to clone myself with the feature. The results...

Were amazing! This is a totally fake image, yet it looks exactly like me.

Midjourney's new feature could put me into any scene I could imagine.

I even "met" my own clone using the system.

It's amazing, but there are risks. Swipe up to read our full story and learn how to use the feature yourself.
