Did you read the article? I'm pretty sure the still images that accompany the article are the AI's idea of neutral expressions. The article talks about animations including smiling.

Do they look neutral to you?

Define neutral. The definition used here probably relates to relaxation of the facial muscles. (Rather than an emotional midpoint between depression and elation)

Can be, I look sad when I have a neutral facial expression for example

Yes, but my point is why do they choose such very different ‘neutral’ expressions for the men and the woman?

Have you never heard the phrase "resting b!+@h face"? A lot of folks resting expression is less than friendly.
