AI taken to a new level

This is pretty cool, yet crazy when you think about how far artificial intelligence has come along.

Basically, this website uses AI to create an image of a person that, in theory, does not exist. It creates a new random image every time you refresh the page. After a few refreshes, I've come to notice that there are some similarities between the generated faces, but other than that, it's pretty neat.

What are your thoughts on this use of AI?

I love how it doesn't know what to do with half a face, or faces in the background.

I'm not entirely sure what the intended, original use for this is, but if it's really randomly generated every time you could take some of these and make persona profiles out of them, like detailed character creation for a story, or a shitty FMV game. If it's not a real person then nobody would mind you using them, no?

Looks like it's gotten so popular that the owner put up a banner in the lower right-hand corner with credits.

Here's a read if you want to know how it works: https://www.lyrn.ai/2018/12/26/a-st...itecture-for-generative-adversarial-networks/
