This person exists is a website that displays a randomly chosen image from a set of thousands of photos of people taken from the ImageNet.com database. Its usability consists of a button that, whenever clicked, shows a new image. The set of photos presented consists of real people taken from ImageNet, a database that aggregates millions of images of animals, objects, people, and scenes used in processes and research involving computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence. On its website (image-net.org), after registration, various options for downloading this database are available for non-commercial use. The principle of This Person Exists is the same as the site “thispersondoesnotexist.com,” which presents a new image of a face, in this case, generated by artificial intelligence, every time it is updated.
