I know this is a little bit banal, but I feel like: (1) the author is thinking about "origami" (2) the model is only able to create "pictures of origami"

The model can only ever be trained on pictures of origami. Thus, the model can generate images that are getting close to "pictures of origami", but (as pictures necessarily are abstracted 2d projections) this might still be way way way off from "origami". Not knowing about actual origami, only ever having seen pictures, I thought most of the generated images were quite good. The actual experienced origami-folding person doesn't see it that way.

I hope my thought is phrased clearly enough, I am having trouble finding the right words here.
