Website Celebrates the Real Faces Face-Generating AI Is Trained On

A spoof of 2019’s This Person Does Not Exist, the endless stream of AI-generated portraits by Philip Wang, software developer and journalist Vincent Woo launches This Person Exists. Created to “celebrate the actual humans who have served as the coal that we’ve shoveled into the AI GAN engine,” as Woo writes on Twitter, the website cycles through a collection of 70,000 photographs that have been used to train Nvidia’s StyleGAN, the same framework used by Wang.
