If it worked with people, they’d show people.

The second example in the "Results" section includes a human.
They do not show a realistic photo face transfer. They blur out the faces even.

It would be a huge invention, but they did not achieve that.

Below the first Results header is a carousel of images. If you tap the arrows you can explore — I believe there are three examples where the final image is a person who’s face was applied from a reference photo.
Yes. But. The reference photo is blurred. The smallest details matter for faces! That's the whole point. I have no doubt you can do a kind-of-looks-like faces. But this is the same issue since Dreambooth. All the IP transfer approaches, even the best like Ideogram's, are failing on faces.
There's two images where the face is transferred to the final image. The references images with blurred faces are all being used for a different reference; the pose, or "necklace", etc. The faces are blurred in every image unless they explicitly want the face transferred to the final image, at least that's how it seems.
I know. But there are no unblurred source images of faces. This isn't complicated.
