Very cool! Wonder how the copyright works on this sorta stuff. Since you fed your AI with actual images of other people art... but a art student would study other people’s art too. So not sure if AI would be seen as a copy or a derivative work. Seems like if you were designing a game and needed random art to fill frames on a wall could be cool to use these. But I feel like the legal part of doing that might be a little murky and unclear and probably even varies by country since still a very new technology.

Definitely something I considered while feeding it a tremendous number of famous paintings (Rothko, Pollock, etc). Considering the nature of random seed generation/traversing through latent space, I don't see a strong legal case to be made for infringement. The law has done crazier things, though, so I'll keep an eye on it.
Also interested to know opinions on that.
