Generative AI can’t magically reveal otherwise unknown truths. AI doesn’t have any idea what the lower half of the killer’s face looks, no more than my students knew what my unmasked face looked like.
What AI •can• do is generate a random plausible face that really looks like a face. It might even look like the face of a real person — a random, innocent person.
Sharing AI-generated unmasking photos is dangerous.

I hope the identity of Good’s killer is in fact revealed.
Let’s help with that by being very careful about what information we share, and making sure it’s good information. That’s hard, and we’ll all mess up I’m sure. But let’s do our best.
Now at least you and I both have a warning: if there’s a purported photo of Good’s killer, be careful and be skeptical.
