Person Tests What Happens When You Try A Gender Swap Filter Back And Forth 39 Times On Your Own Face
Chris Schoonover has just gone through quite the transformation. Well, 39 if we’re being honest. That’s how many times Schoonover used FaceApp’s gender swap feature on their photo.
As you can probably guess, the end image, compared to the first one, is barely — if at all — recognizable. But it’s the gradual, algorithm-guided process that’s really interesting. You can really see where the AI struggled to keep up with the demands to reorganize Chris’s features.
After Schoonover had a good laugh, they uploaded all of the pictures to Facebook, and they instantly went viral. As of this article, their post has over 7K reactions and 35K shares, with people applauding them for breaking the matrix. If the same software is in charge of cloning Agent Smith, we’re still safe. At least, for now.

Here’s the original picture
“I’m a 23-year-old non-binary artist that comes from a rough background,” Chris told Bored Panda. For those who know them, this “photoshoot” shouldn’t come as a surprise. “Strange and macabre humor has always been how I express myself the best.”
Chris started out making funny little memes and silly experimental posts for his Internet friends when they were around 17 years old and as you can see, they’re still killing it. “I love making people laugh.”
And here are all of the variations
“I stopped where I did in this series of images because there came a point when the face stopped being a face and I had already achieved some very laughable results,” they explained. “I added one more image as a joke due to popular request and while some may think it ruins the fun, I found it pretty funny myself.”
Chris’s main takeaway from all this fun is that they should make more posts when they’re high. “But seriously, it was really good to see a spark of humor go viral in these times. It would be really fun to see what other kinds of creativity is born from this.”
Basically: male = dark beard, female = long hair. Also why did the app suddenly add teeth to the smile??? and why 39 times? Did I miss the explanation for that? Why not 30, o 40? (I like even numbers!)
Ok so after three or so they start to look like they are laughing at their own jokes and then the next half looks mad at them for it
I think that's what happens with genetics too when people interbreed
Science has come too far. The app started melting their face half way up
This is like the "Multiplicity" for gender swap filters. "I like pizza Steve" Lol (if you get it, you get it) Never make a copy of a copy
That is hysterical! I saw Barbra Striesand, Ed Sheeran, Nero, Karen Black, Barbie, James Dean, Mongomery Clift, Britney Spears, Liberace...and more. I loved the whole series.
it almost went back to normal there in the middle, and i like how the toothy smile comes and goes
There are a couple of those at the beginning that very much strike me as a creepy elf... just... really creepy elf.
Yet another perfect illustration of how there is no such thing as AI. Just artificial stupidity. These are freakish. It’s funny; I’ll give it that. But holy f**k they’re creepy. Especially when it took away one nostril and centered the remaining one. I hate face filters because they suck and look creepy, but also because they contribute to unrealistic self-images and expectations. There’s a toxic culture around what people think they should look like and these apps are part of the problem.
You're a dude that likes to dress like a girl. There shouldn't be any shame in that. Can't wait for this "non-binary" c**p to be over.... it's a slap in the face to women's rights, gender equality and homosexuality. Also this story is stupid. Slow day?
