This algorithm will protect us from the scourge of AI-generated cats

It's okay, we're safe... for meow.

A cat generated by an artificial intelligence from thiscatdoesnotexist. AI. Deepfake. GAN.

Artificial intelligence tends to cross a lot of boundaries. For instance, in the bright future that is 2021, we’ve got deepfakes, police use of face recognition software, everything Amazon does, these “people” made by Unreal Engine, and the most unholy of all AI creations — cats fabricated entirely by a computer.

This cat does not exist

Thiscatdoesnotexist.com is a site that generates on-command images of cat faces conjured entirely by neural networks.
