This is pretty interesting and I'd be curious to understand the technique and sources behind it. I figure it is some kind of machine learning going on but I assume that there is a number of these that have been pre-generated and this is kind of a random slideshow. They look like real people.

It is based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.04948.pdf Images can easily be generated on the fly. Inference time is ~100ms.

A similar site, based on the same algortithm, was extensively discussed a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19144280 What's different about the site you submitted?

Thanks! I missed that one - seems to do the same :-)

It would be useful to add some parameters, for instance allowing to choose an age range.
