This Fursona Does Not Exist
This Fursona Does Not Exist is a website showcasing AI-generated furry portraits created using nVidia's StyleGAN2 architecture. The AI model was trained on a dataset of around 55,000 safe-for-work images sourced from e621.net, excluding ponies and scalies. Each image was carefully cropped and aligned to faces using a custom YOLOv3 network, ensuring consistent framing. The training process ran for 33 days on a TPUv3-32 pod, resulting in highly detailed and diverse furry portraits.
The generated images are then upscaled to twice their original resolution and denoised using Waifu2x, which enhances visual quality and sharpness. The portraits are non-copyrightable, allowing users to freely use and adapt them without legal restrictions. The AI model itself is openly available for download, enabling artists and developers to experiment or create derivative works.
The site provides a continuously loading grid of unique furry faces, with interactive controls for zooming, panning, and adjusting scroll speed. This makes browsing and discovering new fursonas engaging and user-friendly. The project is supported by contributions from the AI and furry art communities and leverages cloud TPU resources from Google's TensorFlow Research Cloud program.
This Fursona Does Not Exist serves both furry art enthusiasts looking for inspiration and creators seeking unique character portraits. Its open model and high-quality outputs distinguish it from other AI art generators focused on human or anime faces. The project emphasizes responsible use and encourages users to share their creative applications of the generated images.
