Amazing. And now one only needs a random article generator, which describes marriages, breakups, mishaps, accidents, and plain random appearances of these celebrities. Tada, random fake celebrity news, which is probably even better at wasting people's time than the real thing. This is going to happen really soon, because text generation is much easier than what the Nvidia guys did.

Just came here to say that it's time to start a gossip magazine about completely imaginary people. You beat me to it.

However I disagree about text generation, which seems to me to require a perfect equivalent of human intelligence to be at least acceptable. (I'd call it AGI-complete, or maybe HI-complete).

I read the paper, but I did not understand a thing. What is the path to follow (for example, books or papers to read) in order to at least understand what the paper is talking about? My background is in computer science.

Well, create a few templates like some online media currently use and let bots fill the info in. The content should not change much from event to event.

At what point did it go from understandable to not for you? Do you understand GAN architectures? Basic ideas of the DCGAN paper?

I think that celebrity gossip articles would be prove to be as ritualized and standardized as sports and stock market articles; places where algorithmic article generation has worked well. You'd probably only have to hire human writers to do longform features and interviews, and to create an underlying model to generate the activity of these fake celebrities that you would be reporting on.
