The sad thing is that this has been possible for decades using convolutional autoencoders, but with LLMs we forgot that AI architectures other than transformers still exist.
Yeah, it’s really awful. With any luck, AI winter will follow AI summer, like usual, and the serious people can come out again. Although, aren’t CNNs more of a this century thing? I guess two decades is still decades…
IIRC autoencoders actually produce the same image to within our ability to notice, as well.
