RE: Catching the Uncatchable: The Uncanny Valley of Photo Plagiarism and ConArtistry
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!

Can statistical analysis show that an image is GAN-generated? Anyone here know?
I do not have any knowledge in regards to that topic.
No worries.
You catch a lot less fish if you never get your lure in the water.
Maybe I'll get a bite if I'm lucky.
Thank you for your review, @enforcer48! Keep up the good work!
