&gt; Upload your photo and discover look-a-like generated photos.<p>No thank you. I would rather use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thispersondoesnotexist.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thispersondoesnotexist.com&#x2F;</a> instead. I do not want to expose myself to protect myself. Please think about it, it is absurd. You do not protect your privacy by first giving up privacy by trusting total strangers with your photo. Probably could use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;generated.photos&#x2F;faces" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;generated.photos&#x2F;faces</a> as well.<p>Such an anonymizer. You probably use your IP, you upload a photo of yourself to someone&#x27;s server, and God knows what happens to all this. Just to... anonymize yourself. First step to anonymize yourself: do not upload a photo of yourself to random websites.

Isn’t that not kind of scam? It said you can use it for free and then charge 2$ for each photo when you want to download them all while using your photos as free data to train and enhance the network itself.

Very cool, however now I found out I am apparently someone who looks unusual compared to the average person.<p>In particular, I have naturally blond (very blond) hair, blue-green eyes, but a black beard.<p>This seems to confuse the AI. None of the pictures it generates look even remotely like me, and I even got a broken one (long-haired ones, where the hair fizzles out into AI artifacts).<p>Now, just to figure out how I can use my AI-breaking power face to mess with facial recognition technology? ;-)

This is cool. I had been watching this guy on youtube who wears a mask in all his vids because he reports on cartels and wishes to not be murdered. It got me wondering if the new age Brian Krebs of YouTube would use something like this to maintain anonymity but still have a face the audience associates with them. The future is trippy.

I just tried it, I don’t know what your AI thinks I look like, but it’s decided I’m a kid.. I’m in my mid-20s ;)

Founder here. Thanks for featuring!<p>There was an improvised AMA in another thread: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25208704" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25208704</a><p>I&#x27;d be glad to answer the questions here as well.
