They don't let you download the image unless you have the right user agent. How impolite of them.

#23There was a pic of an older guy, but what was unsettling was the woman peeking over his shoulder; like a friend or a family member, leaning into the photo. Her eyes were melting into black and white streaks curling down over her sagging cheeks; her smile was perfectly white, and just a little too long. I refreshed on instinct, and haven't seen anything like it since.

#24An artist friend of mine is using this technology in an interesting way .. she's drawing regular street portraits of people she meets, and then using that as the seed to generate new pictures of people who do not exist.
It has produced some extraordinarily disturbing art, especially for those of us who were her subjects. Some of the images are so wild and out there, it really is an adventure into ones own psyche. I see so much in the generated images that creates an intense emotional response, and its very difficult to differentiate between the lines of the artist and the lines of the code, at least in a way that is easily discernible. Her art as the seed definitely amplifies things - the emotions of eyes, the despair of cheeks and lips - in a way that the generative programming enhances, 1000x ..
Very interesting stuff, and I'm looking forward to her exhibit of this work - especially the live demonstrations.

That second one is clearly just a snip from a selfie with Michael Jackson.

#26You can play with the code[0] for this really easy if you've got a Nvidia GPU with nvidia-docker[1] installed:
docker run --gpus all -it anibali/pytorch:cuda-10.1 bash
# copy images to container with `docker cp`
pip install stylegan2_pytorch
stylegan2_pytorch --data ./images

#27I'm intrigued about the possibility of using these as stock photos - it dies away with the need for model permissions (or does it?). Presumably the copyright on the image resides with the person who ... programmed the neural net? Trained the neural net? Is running the server?
well if you do, please train a dataset that is a bit more zoomed out.

it may well all be for the better. A web full of people shouting about everything and putting everything they got in public is not useful.

#30What is the likelihood that the generated person does exist?
I got the feeling this could turn out the same as people using fake email addresses to later discover that the domain in fact exists (that's why you should always use example.com).
