For anyone reading and confused, this face rendering thing probably barely works, and definitely isn't going to be accurate in just the right way to complement a blackbox face recogniser trained on actual photos. Before you even get close to "is it too powerful" questions about privacy and abuse, "does it work at all" has to be considered.
