Good question. I would guess it's very low if we're talking exact match. It would have to match N features. There's effectively an infinite number of combinations, many more than the 8 billion people curently living.

In reality, there are already real-world doppelgangers, where a typical observer would confuse two (unrelated) individuals. I'm guessing that could happen with a synthetic image too, but it's probably not any worse than a real-world matching error. (The bigger concern is the related one of deepfakes, which don't need any kind of synthesis, they just act directly on the real person's image.)
