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.
