It’s not anything disgusting or dodgy or gross.

Every time you refresh the page you’re presented with a picture of a person. But none of the people are real. The thought of the manipulation and repercussions are mind-boggling to me. It makes me really uncomfortable.

Sorry. I’m missing any deep or disturbing connotation or meaning to this...it just seems pointless to me.

THIS one creeped me out!

Wasn't freaked out until I got this one 😂

@NoIDontWatchLoveIsland

Rethink it. "This person does not exist" is a freaky way to describe it.

"This image of a human face was derived by a computer as opposed to being an image of a real person".

Less weird.

Agreed.

I don’t really find it creepy. It’s not that different to someone drawing a picture of someone who doesn’t actually exist.

Blows my tiny mind

ArabellaScott · 06/09/2020 20:59

There's a real dead behind the eyes thing going on

Yes, they seem to be lacking something. Unless that's my projecting, knowing that they aren't real. But the faces do seem to be lacking a certain depth.

@SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace @britespark1 - they look like scenes from The Thing where they killed it mid change. Shock

EllisRoses · 06/09/2020 21:00
Shock

What would be VERY interesting is to flash up hundreds of AI images like that alongside hundreds of real images and do an experiment to see if people could tell which were real.

Errrr.....

Some of the human ones just aren't quite right I thought. Slightly too androgynous, slightly odd teeth for face and head shapes.

It’s a bit creepy knowing they look so real but aren’t, but not as creepy as those Victorian photos of people looking at the camera then you realise they are dead Shock

SerenDippitty · 06/09/2020 21:03

This one seems to be wearing half a pair of specs!

I just got one of a woman with a ‘spare’ mouth and teeth in her hair. Admittedly that was pretty creepy. Shock

Oh yeah, there’s a Reddit horror story about this. I knew the site name sounded familiar. www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/aqom9e/thispersondoesnotexistcom/

They all have the same teeth imo. Perfectly white and straight but with slight gum recession.
minipie · 06/09/2020 21:05

Interesting

Yes there’s definitely some photoshop fails in there

And several of them have the exact same teeth... I’m pretty sure.

Cross posted!

You could have a use if you are an author looking for a book character, it'd be easier to write with a mental image.

Smallsteps88 · 06/09/2020 21:05

I’m more creeped out by the guy to her right! What’s wrong with his face?? Shock

@titchy What is the pink thing next to the Cat Shock

ParadiseLaundry · 06/09/2020 21:07

It's a crying shame this man doesn't exist. DH might have had some competition!

I don't understand, please explain why it's creepy?
As a pp said it's just a computer generated image

Christ, that’s a pitiful attempt at spooky online ‘it happened to me’ fiction. Was it written by a dog? 🤣

Jenasaurus · 06/09/2020 21:09

Some of them are next to other people that are all distorted and strange, is that the app thats done that do those weird ones exist or not?
