> i guess this is the same as human creativity in the sense it depends on prior experience. That's roughly the idea. Although I didn't want to make that analogy because someone would try to overextend it and point out that an artist can do X and a neural network can't and therefore it's wrong. > its more the "does not exist" that bugs me a bit. Well, if someone learns what a sneaker generally is and then draws a fantasy-sneaker that is still recognizable as a sneaker because it stays in the general confines what is considered "a sneaker" then does that sneaker suddenly exist?
