Maybe it is just me, but how would I go if I wanted to harvest large numbers of "real" photos of "real" persons?

Having curious people uploading them to my website could be an easy way.

was very worrried this was going to be like "haveibeenpwnd" glad to see it isn't

haha well, I was looking at them too. I'm not a native speaker, so considered to use at least their name scheme haveibeenfaked.co or something. Fortunately chosen current option

Where does my face end up when I submit it to this website?

This is a good question. the thing is that except you photo I have to extract its vector of facial parameters to match fakes. So with this 128-dimentional vector I can find you on other photos (if I had some)

All the pics and their vectors stay on this small server. if you want to be deleted please drop me a letter wastemaster@gmail.com

https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ only exists because someone already collected enough real photos of real persons to have a neural network learn their distribution well enough to generate new samples.

Harvesting even more photos is not really necessary at this point, and in any case, scraping them off the web would be faster than creating a novelty website.

Why don't you delete them all automatically as soon as you've finished processing them?
