Less “revenge porn” - because it’s not a specific person - but more porn in general. Which I look forward to seeing because, based on existing attempts to generate nude paintings*, it’s going to be weeeeeiiiirrrrrd.
(And I immediately thought: Someone must already be doing this. And they are, at least in limited experiments. Someone did tiny, GAN-generated pictures of boobs. They… often don’t actually contain breasts. I mean, a few look like breasts, but yeah, weird. https://medium.com/@drainingsun/shattered-dreams-a-journey-to-ai-generated-porn-acf815d7d5de )
*Such as:
I find that more recent GAN images of faces look really convincing, for the most part - often even glitches look like someone did something weird in Photoshop to a photo of a real person, rather than it being entirely computer-generated. I don’t get the same kind of uncanny valley effect that even the best 3D renderings have, for example.

Technology at work solving global climate change… by ensuring no job will require living humans. I, for one, feel much better about our impending extinction.
Hm. They’re all skinny, and nearly all Caucasian. Maybe they could have tried a broader data set to train it.
No different from actual clothe models. If one is trying to flog one’s line of clothing, slim (and not ‘old’) models will be used. Wall Street says skinny and attractive sells. The one obvious exception (that I know of): Plus size models…
… which brings me to cosmetics. There was an investigative report many years back about the advertising tactics of a US cosmetics company… in particular their ads shown in South America. The ads were geared to give viewers the impression that using the maker’s cosmetics would make one taller and slimmer. Per the report, some viewers actually believed that the cosmetics could actually deliver. What a world.
These look more like image morphs to me. As in: they look exactly like image morphs.
Ah yes, those early depictions of a person’s face morphing to look like someone else just looked nothing like how it happens in real life.
