The interesting part there is teaching a computer to generate plausibly-human faces, not the act of generating fake people in general. This is the same way. This seems more interesting because it has practical implications. Generating chemicals that haven't been investigated is the first step towards a programmatic pipeline that can identify and investigate novel chemicals. These seem of particular interest because they're of the "doesn't currently exist" variety, rather than the "cannot exist under the laws of physics" variety.
