I think that's a better option as the 'thispersondoesnotexist' images can't be guaranteed to not actually look exactly like someone.

That could always happen, no matter how you generate the photo, but it's all but impossible that they'd also have the matching name.

Pretty sure the Google algo would feature a isHumanDisplayed() for the photo's that would qualify.

But is Google looking for a human or it just picks the first homonymous human as a poorly automated fallback because there is no other data available?
As far as I know, this worked at least for people like Banksy, Vincent van Gogh, the Zodiac killer and a few others.
Why not a work of graphic/art? A unicorn perhaps?
