Currently, AI image generation technology has limitations when it comes to recreating exact likenesses of real people, whether historical figures or contemporary individuals. While AI has made remarkable progress in generating realistic human images, achieving perfect recreation of specific individuals remains a significant challenge across all AI platforms, including Vidgenie.
AI image generation excels at creating realistic human figures with:
General physical characteristics (hair color, basic facial features, body type)
Approximate style and appearance
Consistent character generation when using our custom AI character training feature
The technology is particularly effective when focusing on broader characteristics rather than specific individual features. For example, you can successfully generate images of "a middle-aged man with gray hair and glasses" or "a young woman with curly red hair," but recreating exact likenesses of specific individuals like historical figures or personal photographs is much more challenging.
The technology faces several key constraints:
Exact facial features and expressions of specific individuals
Perfect historical accuracy for historical figures
Guaranteed consistency across multiple generations without custom training
These limitations aren't unique to Vidgenie – they represent the current state of AI image generation technology as a whole. While some very famous figures (like current celebrities or well-known politicians) might generate more accurate results due to their extensive representation in training data, this is the exception rather than the rule.
There are several fundamental reasons for these limitations:
AI image models are trained on broad datasets, not individual-specific data
These models learn general patterns and features from millions of images, making them excellent at creating realistic human figures but less capable of capturing specific individual characteristics.
Legal and ethical considerations around recreating specific people's likenesses
There are important privacy and rights considerations when it comes to recreating exact likenesses of real people, which influences how these models are developed and trained.
Current technological limitations in precise facial feature control
While AI can generate highly realistic faces, maintaining consistent specific features across multiple generations remains a technical challenge.
To achieve the best possible outcomes with AI image generation, we recommend:
Use our custom AI character training feature for consistent character generation
This feature allows you to train a model on your desired character, resulting in more consistent generations across multiple images.
Focus on general characteristics rather than exact likenesses
Instead of trying to recreate specific individuals, describe the desired appearance in terms of general features and characteristics.
Provide clear, detailed descriptions of desired physical attributes
The more specific you are about general characteristics (age, hair color, body type, etc.), the better results you'll achieve.
Consider using multiple seed images when training custom characters
This can help the AI better understand the desired characteristics and improve consistency.
AI image generation technology is rapidly evolving, with new improvements being made regularly. While exact recreation of specific individuals' appearances remains a challenge, we're seeing continuous improvements in:
Character consistency across multiple generations
Fine-grained control over specific features
Overall image quality and realism
At Vidgenie, we're committed to staying at the forefront of these developments and implementing new capabilities as they become available. We regularly update our models and features to provide the best possible results within current technological capabilities.
For users seeking the most consistent results with specific characters, we strongly recommend utilizing our custom AI character training feature. This allows you to create and maintain consistent character appearances across multiple generations, which is particularly useful for creating series of images or videos featuring the same character.
Remember that while AI image generation has limitations, it also offers unprecedented creative possibilities. By understanding these limitations and working within them, you can achieve impressive results for your video projects.
