Creeper version: • AI generates Human Creeper Face (StyleGAN2...
The more or less human faces were created by StyleGAN2, a generative neural network capable of generating unique more or less realistic human faces given any random input noise.
Developed by Nvidia Researchers and open sourced since February 2019.

The network was trying to find the input noise which will generate the face closest possible to the target image (Shrek). However, it wasn't able to get to a contending solution.
The reason why is not very complicated: this StyleGAN2 was trained to generate human faces - not cartoon characters. If this network was able to produce a convincing look-a-like to Shrek, the training process had failed.
Nevertheless StyleGAN2 managed to come to a horrifying and intidimating solution which is - luckily - very distinguishable from a real human.
In order to fit the target image as much as possible, the network set a lot of attributes to extremes - causing the inhuman look.
If you happen to be interested in the topic and would like to play around with StyleGAN2 yourself, I can recommend you Google Colab.
It allows you to run Python code on their GPU's for free - and there are a lot of open source notebooks that you can test and play around with.
