It seems like we're approaching a sufficiently large set of This X Does Not Exist sites to train a GAN.

The derivative empty-calories lowest-common non-creative aspect of AI generation is best exemplified by the "this idea does not exist" example where, guess what, the pretend new idea is an "YouTube for Lectures" which is as unoriginal a concept as anything you'd come up with if you really went hard for unoriginal... Basically the lowest bar for art now very much is: could an AI have done it?

The cats are too good to be generated.

I thought so too, so I tried to find out if they were scraped from the web. I saved about a dozen generated images and used Google Reverse Image Search and TinEye to see if I could find a match on the Internet. But no luck.

Maybe the cat images look so real as compared to generated human faces because our brain is tuned to recognize human faces and can perceive the tiniest flaws, but not so with cat faces.

I don't think my search proves anything however. With hundreds of millions of cat pictures on the web, I wonder if simple transformations on a real photo -- like flipping or slightly rotating the image, squishing it vertically or horizontally by 10%, adjusting the color -- would be enough to hide the original from Google or TinEye?

Do these "This Does Not Exist" sites do live image generation (they are so fast), or do they generate the images slowly over days and weeks and show us images from a cache?
