That was the most bizarre case I have seen in a while.

When it comes to artistic expressions, we have seen people doing a range of things. I have seen copy/paste to some minor alterations to the original. Now, this is something I have never encountered before.

People have varying definition between what is inspiration and art paraphrasing. In this case, the photos here are not original work. They are products of a new technology. Since the real "author" is inorganic, I do not think the concept of attribution excludes it.

The user highlighted in this story surprised me by coming forward. Well, after a mild confrontation. This is the type we need to worry about the least. As long as they do not present the GAN-generated images as original work of their own, there should be no issue.

I don't know about others, but I have learned something new here today.

Keep up the good work @jaguar.force!
