When a significant number look like zootopia characters I don't think you can claim they "can't be traced back to the original", lots of these are overfit

  They are not 'overfit' unless they are exactly the same and they cannot generalize. But you can see the wide variety of high quality faces which are not copied from the dataset and that the interpolations are fine: https://twitter.com/arfafax/status/1258344026706599937 https://twitter.com/arfafax/status/1258344026706599937 Generating a recognizable character is no more 'overfit' than a painter being able to paint George Washington means their brain is 'overfit'. If those characters are part of the data distribution, as they are, then the GAN can and should generate them and countless variants on them.

    My point is that just because you get the zootopia fox out of a GAN doesn't mean the zootopia fox is public domain.

      Perhaps not, but that is completely different from what data it uses or whether it is 'overfit'.
