Neural networks are now capable of not just replicating a human doodle, but making a unique sketch, thanks to Google Research.

While Gibson believes human sketch artists are irreplaceable, she feels this software can really help, especially if victims use it right after the crime. "When the face is fresh," she said.

Developers have created a program called "Forensic Sketch AI-rtist" that uses OpenAI's DALL-E 2 image generation model to produce "hyper-realistic" police sketches of a suspect based on user inputs.
