All the faces seem computer generated. It would have been nice if they had used celebrity faces we can all recognize and see what their system comes up with.

They are real faces that are morphed along one of the 50 axes they came up with. They look less real because it's standard practice to exclude hair and shoulders and backgrounds from face databases (even if this is totally unrealistic it helps isolated the system under study)
