it's very bad overall from what I can see.

Ever wondered what Picasso on acid, painting with a lava lamp, looks like? Now you know:

Blue car: https://imgur.com/lOmx1SC (he's colorblind too)

Or a landscape, its supposed strength: field of grass on an island: https://imgur.com/a/fpD7PDm (I no longer wish to visit this island)

Dying to know what it does with unrealistic things, like a frog-legged apple crawling through a dragon's ear.

Try for yourself :) http://gaugan.org/gaugan2/

omg this is wonderful.

Did you make it? I wish it had a sprite to indicate when it's processing; I keep thinking it's frozen (and usually getting pleasantly surprised thereafter, but I restarted a couple times before that happened, if indeed it was going to).

I didn't make it (it's a NVIDIA Research project[0]) but I agree about a loading indicator!

This will be exploited for porn and you all know it.

The tech on general will. This particular model appears only to work for landscapes. I tried "the interior of a shopping mall" and "a dancing apple" and got (weird) landscapes.

It can edit photos, though, so it might still be useful for background imagery in porn, even if it doesn't apply to the foreground.
