Image Synthesis from Yahoo's open_nsfw (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12756462)
I actually tried that. It's not as interesting as you'd think. Perhaps having an 'other' category makes it more difficult.

It's trivial to drop the model into the deepdream ipython notebook they provide: https://github.com/google/deepdream/blob/master/dream.ipynb

Tried again. Better: http://i.imgur.com/ALoLmcX.jpg
Seriously, though, synthesis using a recognition model can be a good reality check to remind us of the shortcomings of the model's "understanding" of the domain.
