How about generating better ones using deep fake tech?

Actually, gave this a second thought…

Might be cool, if done right:

   - upload a few profile pics
   - GAN generates an optimized pretty profile pic for you,
     that you can used on Tinder and other social media
I'm pretty sure people would be willing to pay a couple of bucks for that.

How hard would that be to train a model like that?

Yeah, I bet they would given they are willing to pay for super likes. I could definitely see using it for all sorts of reasons, like automated image brushing.

I do need a new LinkedIn head shot...

You could also get into generating stock photos for websites and other media like marketing
