whenever someone gets excited about an image or text produced by machine learning, i immediately think of this embarrassing moment from a hayao miyazaki documentary seven years ago

... seven years ago, it became a metaphor for where we are now.

@vga256 I absolutely do not think that would be the video I would choose to present to someone like Miyazaki. It would need to be something beautiful. This was pointedly ugly.

@woozle I think the problem was that it was *pointlessly* ugly. There was no "why?" that it answered, it did not transform or even generate reflection in the viewer.
