The ability of AI to generate fake visuals is not yet mainstream knowledge, but a new website —
ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com — offers a quick and persuasive education.
The site is the creation of Philip Wang , a software engineer at Uber, and uses research
released last year by chip designer Nvidia to create an endless stream of fake portraits. The
algorithm behind it is trained on a huge data set of real images, then uses a type of neural network known as a
generative adversarial network (or GAN) to
fabricate new examples.
“Each time you refresh the site, the network will generate a new facial image from scratch,” wrote Wang in a
Facebook post. He added in a statement to
Motherboard: “Most people do not understand how good AIs will be at synthesizing images in the future.”

ehhh not exactly what I was looking for . . .it's okay I suppose I was sort of expecting something from nothing when it has god like abilities i'll be impressed but it's given a data subset and uses that data to create new data . . .ehhh
this is right up there with those what would our baby look like programs
