I do always wonder what the basis of such machine learning rendering is. There's various traits that we, in modern times, associate with good-looking, successful people, and those traits often come back in face databases because those are commonly based on celebrities.
I can imagine that celebrities in Roman times would look quite different and therefore would produce completely different renders for the same pictures and statues.

Is it a coincidence George Clooney's face looks the same as a lot of those renders?
Now I wonder if this has to do with the learning set or that those face types are very common.
Those emperors paid a lot of sestertii to make sure their bust came out looking like George Clooney.
