The fact that this was in part developed with the help of Facebook AI Research is kind of unsettling.

That said, the results are actually very impressive.

It's only unsettling if you are completely unfamiliar with the machine learning field. FAIR publishes research in many ML/AI fields. They're responsible for plenty of advances and contributions.
I’m not sure that’s what was meant by unsettling…
Kinda puts a spin on the "face" in "facebook"
It literally puts a spin on it, actually!
Didn’t Facebook just get sued for illegally harvesting faces & tags of people? If derivatives of that data make it into research like this, where does that stand from a legal perspective?
