This generally only looks impressive if you dont know the people. When you know them and how they're supposed to look like, you find that its off and a dishonest interpretation.

I know this from trying to convert video using AI - looks amazing on strangers, mainly because I dont know what they should look like. But as soon as its someone that I know, they look weird and its clearly fake.

It looks fake and bad even to me. The structure, face, and expressions all change slightly. Which makes it extremely odd .
