Haven't looked into these, but what is the proposed advantage over just picking an image (with a much smaller model maybe?) from the database?

The power in generative models lies in being able to flexibly generate images that belong convincingly to a set (e.g. faces, landscapes), but that are not actually in the input dataset. E.g. you can make images that look like faces, but that don't belong to any real individual.

And where is the use of that? (I guess somewhere, we're at deepfakes et al, but this site still seems to advertise the concept)
