A database of more than 100,000 images of people has been created - but none of them are real. 

A team of artists, AI experts and engineers teamed up on the project to create the ultra-realistic images.

It includes different sexes, races and ages and none of the people are real, but could easily be mistaken for a legitimate portrait. 

The eerie headshots appear perfect in many cases, but there are often minor glitches, including eye sockets on foreheads, funky teeth and weird ears.

A remote team of 20 AI pros and photographers took 30,000 pictures of 69 models in a controlled environment to ensure consistent output quality.

The pictures were uploaded into an original machine-learning dataset with StyleGAN software which then constructed a realistic set of 100,000 'original' headshots.
