Generated Photos is a collection of images of human faces that can be downloaded for free and used for any purpose. The images are all generated by artificial intelligence and most of the faces are virtually impossible to tell apart from real human beings. With this collection of stock images powered by AI, Generated Photos sees that "Copyrights, distribution rights and infringement claims will soon be things of the past."
While there are tons of faces that can be downloaded for various projects via a series of Google Drive folders, Generated Photos is also currently working on a system that will make it possible for people to use filters to search for different characteristics like eye colors, features like wrinkles and freckles, as well as various ages and ethnicities to support specific projects.
