This is a lie. As the guy who wrote a good chunk of the code that these fake images were likely generated with, I do not approve this use or this bad take. The way the old StyleGAN encoder worked was to intentionally try to generate an image as close to a real image as possible.

This is what artists are referring to when they say the 'machine-learning' of text-to-sludge leverages stolen art. source (and a great critique of tech-hype)

@MysteryGuitarM If you assume that some sort of Moore's Law scaling holds long enough ("doubles every two years"), then 2 * (log(570000000) / log(2)) = upload yourself to your Macbook equivalent in less than 60 years?
