thispersondoesnotexist.com is great, but doesn't provide metadata, and one of the primary goals was to be able to have consistent names with images, so boys don't get girls names. Also multiple sizes and fixed ids where needed.

Good point. What if we combined the best of both: more realistic images from tpdne.com and API-accessible metadata from your site?

Seems like a matter of crawling the former to get all the images and then tagging them and serving them via your API.

Anyway, I think your approach is great and only wanted to propose a possible approach to the original feedback above :)

Not sure tpdne would allow to use their images
