This Newsletter Does Not Exist

List of Websites like "This Person Does Not Exist"

ImageNet Dataset

Today’s Newsletter is just a time waster showing how Artificial Intelligence can now build digital representations of Real Life Things using Algorithms.

Some of these sites have value to creative people. If I were making a website and needed some pictures of peoples faces, or writing a story about sneakers, and so on.

An example of how people will use the fake people pics.

Q: What about Copyright?

A: You are free to use it! Works by an AI are actually not copyrightable.

Nice!

Test if you can tell which artwork is real here.

“At a glance, the images featured on the website This Person Does Not Exist might seem like random high school portraits or vaguely inadvisable LinkedIn headshots. But every single photo on the site has been created by using a special kind of artificial intelligence algorithm called generative adversarial networks (GANs).

Every time the site is refreshed, a shockingly realistic — but totally fake —picture of a person’s face appears. Former-Uber software engineer Phillip Wang created the page to demonstrate what GANs are capable of, and then posted it to a public Facebook group.”

約9万枚のラーメン二郎画像で StyleGAN を試しました。 公式の実装を使って、最大解像度を512x512pxに下げて学習しています。 まだ学習途中(50%ぐらい)ですが、以前のPGGANよりさらにリアルになっているように思います。 #ラーメン二郎 #GAN

🦜 These Birds do not Exist:

Daniel Solis, birds suddenly appear @DanielSolis

These Birds Do Not Exist I trained an AI on public domain bird illustrations from old books. Ornithologists and birders, I'd LOVE it if you were able to still ID some of these weirdos. I'll share some of the "normal" results first, the ones that kinda sorta look like real birds.
