I build something similar recently inspired by Francois original post. Some studies here:

That's a very interesting idea. Faces have the major advantage that our brains have special circuitry to distinguish and remember faces, making this more tamper proof in practice. The disadvantage is that using faces is likely to lead to confusion. I guess that's what the triangulation is supposed to counter.

You could also easily switch the GAN for different types of hash-like sequences, e.g. people for public keys, cats for bitcoin addresses, etc

Wow that's way better than the article and any other link posted in the comments!

Amazing work.
