This is maybe the most important question for mankind that has ever been asked, so let me ask it: Would it also be possible to use this method to generate new images of attractive, half-naked female humans on the basis of an existing database of such images?

Please don't do this here.

Change the title? Seems like I wasn't the only one expecting some sort of audio-related thing.

Yeah, I put on headphones for this. Seems like a cat generator.

I would assume that the name was chosen, because I already have an old project online called "cat generator" [0], which used the same underlying technique (GANs), dataset and landmark-based normalization. Reusing the name would have resulted in confusion.

Why not? Because of extreme nipple fear?

It would most likely be the #1 application of this technique if it worked in general.

Yet another cat generator then (:

I was expecting meows.

not meows, but here are some purrs: https://purrli.com/

It's a shame that the meows in the "meow-y" setting are just regular meows, not purry meows (as in, meowing and purring simultaneously).

Sounds like a great way to create even more unrealistic standards for beauty. Just a thought.

Someone did this, kinda, by inverting Yahoo's nudity detection network. The results were, uh, unsettling. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12756462
