Re: This X Does Not Exist (2019)
#12I had a lot of fun with "this lyric does not exist" - I don't know if that's more of a statement about modern lyrics lowering my expectations, but some of these could pass the taste test. I think this is definitely going to be the next smash hit: Verse 1 I will feel a poop down in the South sea I will feel a poop down in the South sea Poop from the past never feared again Poop from the past shot by a beam Pre-Chorus…
Interestingly, these lyrics are now in the public domain. They cannot be copyrighted as computers and algorithms cannot hold copyright.

#13So how do I know these things don't exist? How can I know that the algorithm isn't just regurgitating something it was trained on?
You can usually access dataset and run comparisons.

#14Very impressed with 'This MP does not exist'. If wanted to do the same to generate 1000s of fake professional headshots, how would I go about it?
Seminal papers in this area AFAIK are StyleGAN1 and StyleGAN2:

#15Taken together, 'This Waifu does not exist' and 'This snack does not exist' may well put you off eating snacks while looking at Waifu faces. For life. "Mollusc Tentacles' Purée Supplemented Pretzles". "Dothraki horse-heart gummy bears". Etc.
If a real-life fatal basilisk image ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story) ) is possible, it will be created by something like this. The method is akin to how it is developed in the prequel story: An AI that is adversarially trained and accidentally produces a visual effect that crashes human brains.
> An AI that is adversarially trained and accidentally produces a visual effect that crashes human brains.
I very much doubt that would be possible in general. OTOH why using the cumbersome method of training an AI for that? Stroboscopes and flashing lights work perfectly well for a portion of the general population already ;)

Haha very cool. Thank you for sharing! How does https://TheseLyricsDoNotExist.com work? I have only seen StyleGan on images but it seems similar?
Not exactly this site, but I simply fine-tuned GPT2 small: https://m.habr.com/en/post/453232/

Thank you for sharing these. I think they are perfect for my website.

Practically, yes. Theoretically, it is more interesting.
That particular instance of those lyrics is public domain, as are any copies made from them, directly or indirectly.
If you independently happened to write identical lyrics, you would have copyright on those. That would be a worthless copyright though, because it would be almost impossible to ever do anything with it (hence, why I said "practically, yes").
If you sued someone for infringement, the defendant would argue that you didn't independently write identical lyrics. They would argue that even if you don't remember ever seeing the public domain lyrics or a copy of them or hearing someone sing them, it is far more likely that you did and forgot than it is that you independently happened to come up with the same thing. They'd have no trouble bringing in experts to calculate the probability which would be in the "not expected to happen in the short time the universe as existed" range.
To overcome that, you'd have to be able to very thoroughly document that you really did independently write identical lyrics. Short of you having been away on an interstellar mission and able to prove that you wrote yours while the public domain ones were not in your past light cone, this will be difficult.
Even if the court decides that you really did independently create them, your case is still nearly impossible. The defendant would claim that they had seen or heard the public domain lyrics, and those are the ones they actually copied. Even if you could prove that they saw or heard yours too, even before they saw or heard the public domain ones, it would not be good enough. You'd have to prove that yours are the only ones they have seen.
At least in this case the worst that happens to you is that your copyright is worthless. If the original was not public domain, and you really did independently create something identical, you could end up being the one sued for copyright infringement, and you would probably lose.

#20This is a great collection, but there are some factual errors, I’m pretty certain. The image links use GANs, but text GANs have yet to catch up with “simple” discriminative models. The text links don’t use GANs, and the description of an RNN as not quite a GAN is just wrong in most ways you’d interpret it.
