This Person Does Not Exist
The site that started it all, with the
name that says it all. Created using a
style-based generative adversarial
network (StyleGAN), this website had the
tech community buzzing with excitement
and intrigue and inspired many more
sites.

This Cat Does Not Exist
These purr-fect GAN-made cats will
freshen your feeline-gs and make you
wish you could reach through your screen
and cuddle them. Once in a while the
cats have visual deformities due to
imperfections in the model – beware,
they can cause nightmares.

This Rental Does Not Exist
Why bother trying to look for the
perfect home when you can create one
instead? Just find a listing you like,
buy some land, build it, and then enjoy
the rest of your life.
Created by Christopher Schmidt.
This Waifu Does Not Exist
This one is a little stranger than the
others, but I bet you’ll read more of
the plot summary than you expect. It’s
engrossing.
Created by Gwern Branwen.
This URL Does Not Exist
It doesn’t, but at the same time it kind
of does. Does that sound too cryptic?
Click on it and you’ll understand (and
look at the URL). A simple but effective
satire into the entire hype, but
definitely doesn’t use any deep
learning.
This Startup Does Not Exist
If your IP address is in San Francisco,
this site actually just redirects to a
random portfolio company from an AI-,
blockchain-, or crypto-focused venture
capital firm. Can you spot the
difference? (Disclaimer: that was a
joke).
This Question Does Not Exist
By generating seemingly realistic Stack
Overflow questions, you can keep this
open on your computer to seem like
you’re actually doing work. The most
interesting aspect is the “Other Random
Questions” section on the right side of
the page, which shows other equally
synthetic questions.
Created by Brad Dwyer.
This Resume Does Not Exist
To showcase their resume template
builder, this company went as far as to
incorporate TextgenRNN – not quite a GAN
but rather a recurrent neural network
(RNN) specializing in text generation.
Bonus points – the headshots used in
each resume are from
thispersondoesnotexist.com.

This Emotion Does Not Exist
While it doesn’t necessarily use Deep
Learning, this site showcases the power
of a relatively simple model’s ability
to interpret emotions from facial
expressions. The results may shock you.
Or delight you. Or anger you.
Regardless, the site can identify the
emotion.
Created by Jan Schneider.
This Vessel Does Not Exist
Drawing a beautiful parallel between
Generators and Discriminators in GANs
and apprentices and masters in ceramics,
this site demonstrates the beautiful
ability of neural networks to replicate
the mastery of professionals at yet
another craft.
Created by Derek Philip Au.
These Lyrics Do Not Exist
Now we can generate lyrics for a song
given a theme or topic. If only we
combined this with text-to-speech and a
melody-generating model to create
completely original songs. Then the
music industry would take GANs
seriously.
Created by Peter Ranieri.
This Snack Does Not Exist
For when you’re feeling especially
hungry and creative, this website will
remind you that you’re more hungry and
less creative than you thought.
Created by Ariel Levi, Koby Ofek, et al.
This Meme Does Not Exist
Honestly, if I had to quantify the site
with the largest value-add to humanity,
this would be in the top three. Memes
galore and so much more on every
pageload.
Created by Imgflip.
This Chair Does Not Exist
Before I explain this site, you may want
to take a seat, preferably in one of the
chairs generated by this GAN. What’s
more is that the chairs are all 3D and
you can fine tune the “weirdness.”
Created by Marian Kleineberg.
This Foot Does Not Exist
Note that this is an SMS chatbot. You
can text it to get pictures of feet. The
pictures are animated. The feet are
nonexistent. Why would you want to do
this? Who knows.
Created by MSCHF.
This Artwork Does Not Exist
Be inspired by minimalism, realism,
post-modernism, pre-modernism,
modernism, and ancientism (not actually
a thing). No matter your art
preferences, you can find it here with
enough refreshing.
Created by Michael Friesen.
This Chemical Does Not Exist
Who said drug discovery is hard? Just
refresh until you find the right
chemical. In all seriousness, the fact
that this renders a 3D model with the
correct bond pairings is impressive.
This Horse Does Not Exist
Some of the horses have people on them,
but it seems like they’re also generated
by the GAN since something always seems
a bit off with the people. The horses,
as always, look great.
This Word Does Not Exist
Using GPT-2, this website manages to
generate words that sound like they
should exist, but don’t. Great for
startup names or baby names (now that
the coveted X Æ A-12 is taken).
Created by Thomas Dimson.
This MP Does Not Exist
With the state of politics in the world,
who wouldn’t want a refreshing new face
in charge? The author of this site
trained a GAN on real faces of UK
Parliament. Unfortunately the faces this
model generates don’t actually exist,
but they still get my vote.
Created by Matt Round.
This Pony Does Not Exist
This site was created with user
experience in mind. You can pan the
generated ponies, zoom in, and even
auto-expand on hover. And best of all,
each pony is uniquely made for you.
Created by arfa.
This Automobile Does Not Exist
Legend has it Elon used this website to
design the Cybertruck. From there, he
made some slight changes to the
curvature on the left windows, but that
was it.
Created by James Park.
This Eye Does Not Exist
It’s not hard to see why this site is
impactful. In fact, while you’re looking
at this site, you might find this site
looking back at you. A helpful feature
would be Sephora links to the shown
makeup, but I wouldn’t hold your breath
for that feature coming anytime soon.
Created by Gonçalo Abreu.
This Butterfly Does Not Exist
Surprisingly, butterflies look a lot
scarier up close and on your monitor. Or
is that just me? Anyway, take digitised
specimens from the Natural History Musem
in London, sprinkle in a little GAN
magic, and you get this website.
This City Does Not Exist
The next time your flight attendant
tells you to close the window shades,
look no further than this website. With
it, you can get a unique new overhead
view every time you refresh the page.
And the best part is, you can almost
make out your house from up here!

This Food Blog Does Not Exist
Looking to surprise someone special with
a new recipe that’ll leave them
wondering where you got your newly found
culinary talents? Yeah, this is not the
site for you. But, if you’re looking to
share a dank, new, AI-generated site
that boasts the prowess of GANs, this
site IS for you!
Created by Chip Thien.
This Fu***ed-up Homer Does Not Exist
I have seen the dark side of the
interwebs, and this is 100% cacao (read:
very dark), folks. Visit at your own
peril – you’ll never look at the
Simpsons in the same way.
Created by Thomas Dimson.
This Fursona Does Not Exist
I’m not sure exactly what to do think of
this. On the one hand, I learned the
word “fursona” today. On the other hand,
I discovered the page “wikifur.com”
today. These are strange times.
Regardless, excellent execution of a
StyleGAN.
Created by arfa.
This Night Sky Does Not Exist
Over 55% of the world lives in an urban
area with immense light pollution,
unable to see the beauty of the stars
and constellations. Unable to see the
wonders of space. Unable to see whether
they’re a Scorpio or a Pisces – this
site aims to solve that by democratizing
access to the night sky.
Created by Arthur Findelair.
This Music Video Does Not Exist
Next up on the AI chopping block – the
music industry. By combining OpenAI’s
Jukebox and a StyleGAN for visuals, this
website will give you a
never-before-seen music video worthy of
a VMA. Watch out MTV – you’re about to
have a lot more nominations this year
than you expected.

This Beach Does Not Exist
Are you in need of a tropical vacation?
Well do we have the perfect deal for
you. Exclusively through his site,
Vojtěch can sell you a lease to
beachfront property with no tourists! Of
course, the property only exists inside
of a computer, but you’re paying for the
experience so be grateful.
Created by Vojtěch Semecký.
This Map Does Not Exist
With Apple Maps and Google Maps
competing on improving the quality and
detail of their maps through satellite
imagery and AI, this site takes a
completely different approach – just
create your own maps with as much detail
as you want. Users won’t actually check
if there’s a house there…will they?
Created by Isaac Boates.
This Idea Does Not Exist
Looking for a fun, new side-project?
Look no further than this new site that
recommends groundbreaking new ideas for
companies or open-source projects. It’s
an I’m Feeling Lucky for how to spend an
exotic weekend with some wine and your
favorite IDE.
Created by Andrew Cantino.
This Sneaker Does Not Exist
Sneaker heads beware – this site will
keep you hooked. Feature request: every
sneaker should have a button that allows
you to instantly send the sneaker’s
photo to Nike.
Created by Stan van der Vossen.
This Baseball Player Does Not Exist
Fortunately for the MLB, we’ve developed
a fantastic recruiting pipeline for
budding new baseball talent – generate
’em with AI.
Created by Nolan Madge.
This Flag Does Not Exist
It’s not often that a country is in the
market for a new flag, but on the off
chance that they are, this site has them
covered. It’ll even offer a potentially
new name for the flag. You know, just in
case they wanna change their name too.
Created by VRBobbie.
This Interview Does Not Exist
Interviewing is a pain, and this tool is
trying to lessen that pain by generating
both the questions and the answers. Now,
you can sit back and relax before any
interview, knowing that this site has
got your back. Fingers crossed you get
the job!
This Iris Does Not Exist
Do you ever get the feeling that
something’s watching you? Don’t worry,
it could just be this GAN and its latest
iris. It takes the phrase “I’ve got my
eye on you” to a whole new level.
This Voice Does Not Exist
This might be one of my favorites, not
only because the actual voices sound
absolutely realistic, but also because
the generated sentences are absurd and
exactly what I’d expect an AI to say.
The voices may not pass a Turing Test,
but they’ll make you question who’s
actually on the other end of the phone
next time you call customer support.
Created by Nicolas Müller.
This Pepe Does Not Exist
In a stroke of absolute brilliance, this
site finally delivers what we’ve all
been yearning for since the inception of
generative AI models at scale. While you
may see some Pepe as blurred or
malformed, consider the deformities a
visual metaphor for the uncertainty of
life and the haziness of trying to
predict the future. Either that or the
model needs some more training data. But
who knows!
Created by Jess Moss & Helena Milionis.
This House Does Not Exist
The crack research team at Airbnb has
been working on a solution to their
supply-chain issues – they’re running
out of new houses to feature on their
marketplace. To solve this, they’ve
built an AI to just generate new house
pictures for their listings. Disclaimer:
That is a complete joke. True story: I
would genuinely live in some of the
houses generated by this amazing GAN.
