I wonder if this could be used as an identification tool for beetles like a phantom sketch. You could move some sliders to get it closer to the bug you are thinking of or which you have in front of you.

Of course, this method would have to compete with a related model just trying to classify a photo.

They already have similar apps to this for a range of things. I guess the most popular ones are for plants [1]

it could be used like that. Technically, the model already learned the features of the dataset. (although it was unlabelled). There are some implementations to find features in StyleGAN and enhance/modify those: StyleGan Encoder https://github.com/spiorf/stylegan-encoder
