This is what always bothers me about demonstrations of the technology. There's almost always a extra hidden layer of human curation of the output so we only see the examples that are most interesting (90% amazing result with a mixture of hilarious/horrible bad results for flavor)

This work is impressive, I don't mean to take anything away from it, but if the author had to filter through 1000 images to select the 5 I saw, that's ... disappointing?

It's definitely not generating an image for each page load. If you refresh the page you get the same image more often than you get a new image.

It looks like there is just throttling on requests, if you request a new one too quickly, it will just give you the same one

It's constantly generating new images and serves always the freshest one.

The author posted elsethread to say that it is generating a new image every 2 seconds, and serving the latest one.
