This Person Does Not Exist

When you visit the website This Person Does Not Exist, you will be greeted with the face of a stranger. Each time you click ‘refresh’, a new, completely convincing yet unfamiliar face appears. Except, as the title gives away, none of these people exist.

Creator Phil Wang made the site using a new development in machine learning, called Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). GAN forces two data sets to compete with each other in a game, encouraging each strand to learn from the other’s mistakes.
