Yes, let's increase the cost of manufacturing, of a product which competes against a plethora of cheap Asian knockoffs, for something which in no way enhances functionality.

It is cool, but that is actually pretty old ****. I posted a video link to a university student project here a couple years ago showing real-time facial transposition onto a target figure. Even that was eons ago in the AI realm though, as that generation of capability has been wildly surpassed now. This has currently led to a huge effort in AI research circles to develop tools to detect synthesized video, as the current state of the art is well beyond human detection.

I've search for the actual student project video, but I can't find it (or it is no longer working). Here's an old video referencing it though:
