Composites. Those are (I'm 99% certain of it) not real women. They take software that does something like, scan millions of women's public pics on facebook, for example. Then, it randomly mashes them together to make fake profile pics and assigns one to each bot.

With all the image manipulation/AI APIs and cheap access to data centers (like AWS), this stuff becomes a joke. Hell, I'm teaching myself how to code and use a lot of the emergent technology; getting every certification that I can afford, along the way. As a noob, with no professional experience (yet), I've batch compiled thousands of composite images— just to get acquainted with the tools.

It's getting creepy, just how easy it is to do some crazy stuff, with software.

Do you have some links/directions on how can someone achieve something like this? I find it really interesting how you can generate a believable image of a non-existent human that way. I wonder if it's possible to save specific features to make multiple photos that appear to be the same person.
