> We have noticed a lot of concern that PULSE will be used to identify individuals whose faces have been blurred out. We want to emphasize that this is impossible - PULSE makes imaginary faces of people who do not exist, which should not be confused for real people. It will not help identify or reconstruct the original image.
This is just another way to generate realistic faces that match a pattern. The "bad use cases" I can imagine involve unmasking real people, which is not what the model does.
