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

And - with all due respect - an alternative would be providing an open-source program to create offline this "128-dimentional vector" and upload only this latter and NOT the photo.

Uh why wouldn't they be automatically trashed after processing?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This should be mentioned on the website. > if you want to be deleted please drop me a letter wastemaster@gmail.com There should be an easier mechanism to request a deletion of our photo. Better still, request permission from the user to store the photo in your servers before actually storing them. I think this is the bare minimum of transparency that should…

Agree, thank you. Somehow I missed that, yep going to add with next update

Can’t you just remove all the stored data?

Let's check! >We collected the huge dataset of 428526 fake generated photos and extracted their facial parameters with https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition . Now you can match your image against fake faces and compare with the closest matches. Enjoy! Maybe it is just…

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.

I love this comment mood. Everyone losing it when some random small website asks people to upload their photo if they want to find out some random information. But everyone's cool with sharing constantly on FB, IG, uploading their photos and locations to massive companies, etc etc. The internet has reality distorted everyone's perspective. Orwell would be have something to say about it. Everyone loves Big Brother (FAANG etc) but distrusts each other. Divide and conquer much?
