Terms of Service

DISCLAIMERS

Some models were trained using StyleGAN2 and the FFHQ Dataset. By using this service you agree to abide by NVIDIA's licenses for each product which are accessible through the links provided.

The model used here was trained on human-supplied subjective impression judgments of synthetic portrait-style photographs. As a result, the model reflects human psychology in an especially direct way, inheriting (and therefore facilitating the visualization and study of) all biases present in this type of data. This means that using the model to transform a face to look "more X" (where "X" is some perceived attribute, such as "dominant") does not create a face with features that make it more "X" — or even more likely to be "X" — in the real world. Instead, such a transformation yields a synthetic portrait-style photograph that the sampled participants from the training dataset might think looks more "X" (on average). It has no bearing on the ground truth of such attributes, which could not be ascertained from a single photograph in principle, much less with this kind of subjective impression data. Any attempt to use the service to perform automated decision-making for real-world human outcomes (e.g., hiring, bank loans, etc.) is a severe violation of our Terms of Service, and such attempts are doomed to failure in reality. For more discussion on these types of issues, see here.

This service is a work in progress and is provided as-is. Use at your own risk.

By using this service you agree to our Terms of Service (detailed below).
