GANs are interesting because the output, while in the same style as the input, is almost always surprising and interesting.

People tend to give generated content more credit than they should as far as it’s “intelligence” goes. It is natural for people to want to anthropomorphize technology.

There is more that can be done by cleaning up and sorting through the data set. For instance, it can be trained on drawn faces, or many images of a particular style.
