AI换脸“复活”已故父亲

2022年，孙先生的父亲确诊罕见疾病阑尾黏液腺癌。孙先生介绍，父亲当时已是晚期，尽管他带着父亲四处求医，但还是没能阻止病魔的侵袭。2023年，父亲永远离开了他。 6park.com
In 2022, Sun's father was diagnosed with a rare condition known as appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma. Despite Sun's efforts to seek medical treatment for his father, the disease progressed rapidly, and his father passed away in 2023. 6park.com
孙先生的奶奶心脏不好，家人担心她的身体，怕她接受不了儿子去世的消息，于是隐瞒了下来，谎称孙先生的父亲仍在北京的医院接受治疗。长时间的分离，让老人格外思念儿子，她不断追问何时才能与儿子通话：“你给他打个电话，我太想他了。” 6park.com
Concerned about his grandmother's fragile health, the family decided to keep the news of Sun's father's passing a secret. They fabricated a story, telling the elderly woman that her son was still receiving treatment in a Beijing hospital. The prolonged separation took a toll on the grandmother, who continuously expressed her longing to speak with her son.  6park.com
孙先生一边用父亲在医院不能带手机为由来搪塞，另一边，他受科幻电影启发，决定用AI换脸技术录制一段父亲问候奶奶的视频，以此安慰老人。 6park.com
In a creative attempt to comfort his grandmother, Sun, inspired by science fiction films, decided to use AI face-swapping technology to create a video message from his father. Prior to recording the video, he even shaved off his beard to better resemble his late father. 



因自己留着胡子的形象和父亲有较大差异，孙先生还特意将胡子刮掉再录制视频，然后通过AI软件，“换”成父亲的脸。视频中，他模仿父亲的口吻向奶奶问好：“妈，我继海，我在北京挺好的……” 6park.com
Through the use of AI software, he successfully transformed his appearance into that of his father, delivering a heartfelt message to his grandmother: "Mom, it's Jihai. I'm doing well in Beijing." 6park.com
虽然换脸后的视频像素不高，但好在奶奶相信了这个善意的谎言。 6park.com
Despite the relatively low pixel quality of the swapped face in the video, the grandmother believed the well-intentioned fabrication.

然而，录制的过程于他而言并不轻松。孙先生坦言，录制视频时，他的情绪一直处于崩溃边缘，因而耗时近半个月才完成换脸视频的制作。“我需要克服巨大的心理压力，咬着牙才能把这件事完成。我总是不断想起父亲，想起我们一起生活的点滴。” 6park.com
However, the emotional toll during the video recording process was significant for Sun, who admitted that his emotions were on the verge of breaking down throughout the half-month endeavor.



孙先生说他不清楚能瞒奶奶多久，也不确定之后还会不会再次“换脸”父亲拍视频。“我把这段经历记录下来，就像是和过去告别。尽管现在我依然无法接受父亲的离世，但我相信生活总会有新的开始，我也会坚强起来，像父亲一样成为家人的支柱。” 6park.com
Sun expressed uncertainty about how long he can keep up the charade and whether he will resort to face-swapping again in the future.

Despite the ongoing struggle, Sun believes in new beginnings and aims to emulate his father's strength as a pillar of support for his family. 6park.com
