Is it possible to use neural networks to create a whole series of photos of one person for a fake social network profile ("sock puppet")?

I show by examples the possible way of solving the problem (this is not an easy way ).

🧵🧵🧵 In order to successfully pretend to be another person on the Internet, you need a series of photos in different places and different clothes. But it's a lot of work to make these (even with AI).

First, let's create a photo of a person's face.

In the comments on my tool collection, I get asked all the time if it's there as a page on Start me.

Yes, there is such a tradition among the #osint community. But I don't plan to use Start me

Github is the best place to store any tool collection

7 reasons why I think so🧵 1. Every Github user can make a fork of the collection and modify it at will🧵

I think this opportunity is fully consistent with the ideology of the free dissemination of knowledge, which I try to follow
