Generating original ones with a Neural Network is more fun!

Nobody can reverse image search a profile picture that can not possibly have existed before.

hold up, are you telling me that the ads on tubes letting me know there are thousands of women in my city (of less than 800k in population total) waiting to fuck me for free is a lie?

I feel very disillusioned :/

incidentally, is there a neural network that exists to make me look like Liya Kebede when I walk down the street? that would be awesome.

Interesting, could also be useful for getting around FB's "upload a picture of your face" roadblock, unless there's some hidden data in there giving it's origins.

Pretty soon we won't need actors and actresses. It will all be computer generated.

Correct, eventually this kind of stuff will put a lot of stock photography models out of work.

More interesting though is the use of the underlying technology (generative adversarial networks) to replicate various types of things from music to faces to theoretical mutating diseases that may be cured before they come into reality to cancer research.

The scary thing is that these generative adversarial networks are being highly adopted in areas that we don't fully understand yet and research has shown they can amplify biases or prejudice in both photographic and written material they are trained on, take that a few steps further and we better hope that if this shit becomes sentient one day that it doesn't get the ability to hurt us.
