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.

Never heard of Lojban's vocabulary - thank you for a very interesting read!

Author may want to implement a labelling method for users for a days to maybe train the discriminator a little bit better. Would be a cool human-in-the-loop exercise.

I read this as "which France is real" and was slightly disappointed when I wasn't able to test my incomplete knowledge of European geography against a neural net.

I'm really exited for https://thiswebsitedoesnotexist.com

You don't need to wait. That site does not exist until someone books thiswebsitedoesnotexist.com domain.

And I'm pleased to say that (as I write this, at least) the registrant has done exactly what I had intended to do with it.

I was surprised to see that the easiest way to figure out if a face was real was by looking at the background. The face generator seems to be terrible at everything but faces. There are often strange visual artifacts and clipping issues, and the face generator never seems to put another person in the background of the picture.

also, the teeth. in generated images they are usually strangely asymmetrical

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

This reminds me of the movie Annihilation, it’s like it’s blindly mimicking something without knowing what it’s doing. So weird!

> it’s like it’s blindly mimicking something without knowing what it’s doing

If it's not, that should be the definition for machine learning.

Look at the eyeball, compare reflection, it’s easy this way.
