Is anyone else struck by the similarities in textures between the images in the appendix of the above "Scalable Diffusion Models with Transformers" paper?

If you size the browser window right, paging with the arrow keys (so the document doesn't scroll) you'll see (eg, pages 20-21) the textures of the parrot's feathers are almost identical to the textures of bark on the tree behind the panda bear, or the forest behind the red panda is very similar to the undersea environment.

Even if I'm misunderstanding something fundamental here about this technique, I still find this interesting!

Could be that they’re all generated from the same seed. And we humans are really good at spotting patterns like that.
