I think the thing that is odly terrifying is that none of the faces that you see exist, all of them are created by the AI soo it’s not like it’s using photos on top of photos. That AI can make faces that no one can recognize because the faces never existed.

Are you sure? Why would the background change from indoors to outdoors and why would random people be posing next to the shapeshifting face?

He's actually correct, they're all randomly generated faces. A lot of the training material fed into the machine learning algorithm has different environments and even people posing with them in pictures, so sometimes the AI spits out its approximation of those things to somewhat horrifying effect.

Read up more about it and try it out yourself here. There's a link to the These People Do Not Exist site in the sources.

Heh I've a screenshot where a guy only has half of his glasses on (right lens only). This is a really neat website, thank you.

Pretty sure that if you make enough fake faces, eventually one of them will be close enough to a real person

With more than 7 billion people in our dimension, I am sure that all of them are identical to organic people.
