One thing that I find amazing about this job is how it retarget the purpose of a neural network. This is not a classifier, this is not a here-are-a-bunch-of-fuzzy-images-tell-me-what-character-it-is.

This using knowledge, combines the fundamentals to create something new and plausible. A thin shadow of imagination?

It's not a new idea. Since char-rnn came out, people have been using it to generate music, generate fake linux code, write Shakespeare, make chatbots, etc. And before that people were using markov models to do the same things. There have been a lot of markov generators including a fake headline generator, and a subreddit populated entirely by markov chain bots.

As far as I know the RBM is related to a proposed model on how/why we dream, so "imagination" is apt.
