- jcelerier 8y agolooks like mighty fine kittens to me : https://i.imgur.com/wbZmNzY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wbZmNzY.jpg && https://i.imgur.com/rmxEkdC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rmxEkdC.jpg
- thisisweirdok 8y agoTo be fair, the site isn't called "This is a realistic looking cat the doesn't exist"
- mFixman 8y agoI got a cat that could easily fit in MoMA. https://i.imgur.com/hmjhhq1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hmjhhq1.jpg
- linkingday 8y agoAuthor 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.
- MasterScrat 8y agoYes something like this: http://www.whichfaceisreal.com/ http://www.whichfaceisreal.com/
- thefifthsetpin 8y agoWow. I have no idea which face is real.
- ryeights 8y agoYou can pretty reliably guess correctly if you look for ghosting/blurring/chromatic aberration along sharp edges, e.g. around the eyes, on the chin, and in hair. ML hasn't quite mastered the fine details yet
- tynpeddler 8y agoI 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.
- tylersmith 8y agoWow. I got 2/10 the first time and then did again after reading your comment and got 10/10. The background really does give it away.
- TremendousJudge 8y agoalso, the teeth. in generated images they are usually strangely asymmetrical
- deleted 8y ago[deleted]
- bfred_it 8y agoML generates some rather bad artifacts. Just look for those. Even in this[1] difficult comparison you can see the non-human repeating skin patterns on the right and the awkward teeth contour. Also hair-on-skin often looks wet and with unnatural bends. When comparing wrinkly people then it gets a little harder. 1: https://i.imgur.com/KWnhkBS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KWnhkBS.jpg
- repolfx 8y agoThat one is super hard when looking only at the face. Look at the clothes and necklace. The clothes are different on left and right sides of her face - the moment you see it you can't unsee it and it's obviously wrong.
- Operyl 8y agoI got some pretty tough ones on mobile. Maybe if I had zoomed in I would have seen the differences.’, but eh: https://imgur.com/a/UXSCOG8 https://imgur.com/a/UXSCOG8
- rebuilder 8y agoVery unusual expressions seem to me likely to be real, simply because the generated images are AFAIK in a sense statistical averages.
- Operyl 8y agoI thought this too! Then I picked a weird expression and was wrong lol.
- farisjarrah 8y agoThe fake image looks extra weird because it looks like he has glasses on the right side of his face but its kinda cropped out
- Avamander 8y agoAfter yesterday's 10 minutes of watching those fake faces this test was super simple for me, I did like 25 without mistakes which kinda shows the fake generation has a long way to know to fool good eyes.
- ItsDeathball 8y agoI 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.
- mirekrusin 8y agoLook at the eyeball, compare reflection, it’s easy this way.

- ChrisArchitect 8y agowow - a rare breed - the donut cat!
- snazz 8y agoMost of the ones with humans don’t turn out so good.
- gfodor 8y agohow one can see Donut Cat and suggest the algorithm be changed to snuff out his non-existence-existence, is beyond me
- gambler 8y agoI wish researchers were using these examples to further understand what this network does, how it fails and what are its fundamental limitations. However, such digging would undermine the hype, so I'm not particularly hopeful. Most of the issues are just written off as kinks to be ironed out. Another thing that really bothers me is that no one tries to replicate any of these results without neural networks[1]. To most people here this is the natural result of deep neural networks being the bestest algorithm ever. To me, this indicates that much of the current ML research fails to generate true insight. --- [1] For example, what would GAN-like architecture look with gcForests? No one seems to care about questions like this, even though gcForests have tons of practical advantages over neural nets.
- hnuser123456 8y agoML isn't perfect, in case you didn't know. If you want to catch up with academic progress, search for stylegan. Aren't we allowed to have some fun sometimes?
- roel_v 8y ago"To me, this indicates that much of the current ML research fails to generate true insight." I don't think anyone who knows what they're talking about would say otherwise.
- gotocake 8y agoFun fact, the toroidal cat is actually a stable gravitational configuration along with a spheroid. There are upper and lower bounds on angular momentum and mass of course, but within those bounds you can have a toroidal cat orbiting its primary! Wait, what’s a cat again?
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agoisn't that the same type of cat physicists used to proof the buttered-cat paradox ?
- jschwartzi 8y agoActually the buttered cat hypothesis has been proven with much less exotic cat shapes. I recall seeing a paper showing that a cat with dimension n=1 and zero rotational inertia would spontaneously begin spinning as a result of the presence of a "butter field." Of course the experimenters ran out of point cats and had to go to the store to get more syrup shortly after completing the experiment, so it has been rather difficult to replicate. However the authors assured readers they would attempt replication at the next breakfast fundraiser for the department.

- derefr 8y agoComplete tangent, but I’ve always wanted to ask someone else who thinks about toroidal gravitational physics: in the center of a toroidal cat (planet) of sufficient mass, does gravity “cancel out”, or are you instead being “pulled apart” in every direction at once, as if on a medieval rack?
- wswope 8y agoCancels out. To pull something apart, there would have to be a gravitational gradient, meaning the object would have to be pretty huge relative to the toroid.
- imtringued 8y agoI have found this: https://imgur.com/a/NgcEXVF https://imgur.com/a/NgcEXVF
- tyingq 8y agoCorgi breeders don't stop to think if they should have.
- dkersten 8y agoInteresting. I looked at about 20 of these and only saw 3 that didn't look like cats. I guess I got lucky! Now to hit refresh some more times to find some weird and wonderful mutant cats.
- rayalez 8y agoOh, the elusive myhological doughnut cat. Finally confirmed!
