How Machine Learning Can Help You Recognize Faces

Machine learning is kind of this shortcut where we don't have to understand it. Instead of recognizing a face you can create something that generates faces. This led though of course to things like deep fakes right where now we can actually generate an image of Barack Obama saying something that he never actually said in his voice. It's very cool that a deep learning algorithm searches through the space of features and finds the right features to solve the problem we want to solve  that humans just don't know how to come up with on their own.
