    It's a computer program created by geeks at Nvidia that creates hyper-realistic photographic quality faces of nonexistent people using a technology called 'Generative Adversarial Networks'.

    I bet that it won't be long before criminals and spies (is there any difference?) will be using this technology. (It's scary to imagine what journalists and lawyers could do with it.) It doesn't just work for human faces. There are examples in the technical paper of it being used to generate non-existent automobiles, cats and room interiors.

    I've noticed one 'tell' in many of the female faces. Their ear-rings. Women typically wear the same style ear-rings on each ear so that the effect is symmetrical. But these female faces are often wearing different ear-rings in each ear. I expect that a simple tweak of the program could fix that.
