This Cat Isn’t Real

This Cat Isn’t Real

Take a look at the cat in the photo above. It seems real, doesn’t it? It isn’t. This feline beauty was generated entirely by an algorithm.

Each time you refresh the webpage This Cat Does Not Exist, a new hyperrealistic cat created by machine learning appears. Confused? Alarmed? You’re not alone.

The images were produced using a machine-learning system called Style-GAN. This AI algorithm can learn to draw almost anything, including human faces, by analyzing hundreds of thousands of existing images.

And as everyone knows, the internet has no shortage of cat photos to train on. Below are more AI-generated cats that never spent a single day on this earth.
