This person does not exist in the training database . Imagine seeing your lookalike in here.

At what point can one say the lookalike is actually one's image ?

There's no imagination involved.

Now, the next obvious question is, how do you pick one of these non-existing persons and generate images of him/her doing different things in different places? (Or, of course, real persons. Is there a service where I can upload my photo and it starts to generate images of me doing random - or not so random - things?)

I'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?

Another (darker) possibility is to generate copyrighted images. Once you have (say) a trillion photos, it will be hard to generate a new one that doesn't look (in essence) like one you already have.

These are not being generated on the fly, are they?

No, if you quickly refresh you might get the same one again.

Even better if you could generate that and add some kind of aging to the no-person.
