One wonders if sites like this exist to link faces to IP addresses, though. Get someone to upload a selfie from their computer, then you can add it to your database. Share on Facebook and Twitter, and they know your socials. Next time you walk into a store (post-mask era anyway), they find you in the database, and can see if you've visited their website or not, who your friends are, what sort of things you're interested in, etc.
I'm almost surprised that this isn't more common, now that I think about it.
Edit to add: I had to flag this link. The site is now redirecting to malware. I guess people did in fact want that database!

Mine looks really good.

Not necessarily as nefarious, but just using sites like this to collect training data is probably a very common occurrence.
They link to their GitHub project. I hope to try it out locally this weekend.
I see the taki0112/UGATIT github project that it's based on but I don't see the project itself linked anywhere. I could easily be missing it though.
