Someone download a bunch of corporate ppt slides from slideshare and train a model suitable for thisslidedoesnotexist.com.

I think we've seen what these latest gen GANs can do with natural images, so why not try a novel application ?

They can do something to imitate text in images, so there's reason to think ppt slides should work.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did it automatically generate that "caption" because it learns from lolcats/cat memes? Fascinating!

I also got a few characters of would-be-text into a couple of images. As you said, the net was probably trained with images that included cat memes and it "learned" that meme-text means "cat".

Makes me wonder if it is possible for deep learning to create an artificial language. Supposedly Lojban's vocabulary was created by an algorithm, although how it got "mlatu" for cat is obscure.

Looks like there were some memes with watermarks in the training data https://i.imgur.com/iMOSUog.jpg

That's a caption, not a watermark. This one has a watermark, and was clearly taken from that popular vendor of stock images, shuttersrstsck: https://i.imgur.com/Nytlb16.png Raises some questions about what is able to be copyrighted vs. derived works if the generated image was produced by this algorithm and doesn't actually exist in Shutterstock's (excuse me, Shuttersrstsck's) database.

I was referring to the gray bar with text on the bottom. Its supposed to have the URL for the website rehosting image, like the bottom white bar in the image you linked to.
