Personally I felt it came out a little more like an impressionist painting but its fun to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alchy.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/800-300x150.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181\" width=\"464\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alchy.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/800-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/alchy.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/800-700x350.png 700w, https:\/\/alchy.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/800-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/alchy.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/800.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another really amazing site is <a href=\"https:\/\/thispersondoesnotexist.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thispersondoesnotexist.com\/\">ThisPersonDoesNotExist<\/a>, which generates a portrait of someone based on data therefore the person does not exist.
