Japanese Pop Star Outed As Computer-Generated Creation

By on June 28, 2011 in News 18

20110619_eguchi2-600x449Has CGI technology become super realistic? Or is it more that actual famous people now resemble virtual creations to the extent that the difference is hardly noticeable? Kotaku reveals:

AKB48 is Japan’s most popular female pop group. With give-or-take 48 members, its latest member is Aimi Eguchi, who has rocketed from obscurity to become the poster girl for a Japanese ice candy, Ice no Mi. Now revealed as a computer composite of other girls in the group, she appears 4 seconds in below.

    That’s pretty crazy but the next step will be real life droids walking around looking like that(hopefully).  Question is are you willing to take one home at 3:00 a.m. when your drunk and horny?  Because I sure am!

    I look forward to upload myself in virtual hyper reality and live forever.
    How about you?

    Well, if it’s a composite of four other girls then it’s not entirely virtual.

    For me the tip off was the fact that at no time did she screech:  “You fekkin’ cromagnon!  Even a goddamned animal would demand fresh woodchips in the cage from time to time to ward off the stench!”

    Yeah.  Excessive perfection:  Phillip K. Dick’s first rule for identifying a replicant.

    Umm, yes I suppose. I’m not sure precisely what I’m looking at on this one. Just a candy commercial? Maybe better than some of the “tough active people” Snickers commercials I’ve seen. I’ve seen worse things.
