A GAN-generated image has been auctioned for a high price tag. The people selling it might have reused a piece of code taken from GitHub, with limited changes. Should you be outraged? Well, no.

As for whether a generic, low-quality GAN-generated image is worth money -- obviously the content itself is worthless, but the act of putting it up for auction (with great success!) is a kind of a masterpiece of performance art, unironically.

It's like Banksy's shredder -- I don't think the manufacturer of that shredder deserves much credit.

Anyway, the author of that GAN piece of code used open-source packages to code an implementation of an algorithm they didn't invent, & train it on a dataset they didn't collect. In most cases, your work is a link in a long chain. You are rarely the center of the universe.

Could be a new way to fund research until saturated:-)

I get the analogy, but I think the shredder was custom built by Banksy into the frame in that particular case.

Banksy (allegedly) made the shredder himself, so technically the manufacturer of the shredder deserves a lot of credit.
