The Style-GAN results are posted and of course I went straight to its 100,000 generated cats.
gancats are the best.

I like the way #StyleGAN attempted to include meme text with its generated cats.

I've noticed that when #StyleGAN generates pairs of kittens, one of them is always haunted

Can definitely tell #StyleGAN's cat dataset came from the internet. It learned to generate @RealGrumpyCat

From the internet cats in its training data, #StyleGAN also learned to generate the @Shutterstock watermark.

I really like the GanCats that bend time & space. Unlike the Flickr Faces dataset that #StyleGAN did so well at, the cats dataset has a huge variety of poses, so it's a much harder thing to imitate.

At least we know the cat version of #StyleGAN wasn't getting any help from the version that produced photorealistic human faces

Which #StyleGAN generated cat are you?

Update: I found worse cats

Inevitable but important

A sampling of stuff #StyleGAN learned from internet cats: meme text, watermarks, and shirtless bathroom mirror selfies

horrible things that #StyleGAN somehow thinks exists:
- eldritch horror cat trees
- kitten probability clouds

#GanCats for every occasion

it's hard to draw a cat okay?
