Gwern, I respect you but sometimes you miss the mark. I was describing a particular application of deep dream in which the output is fed in as input, which doesn’t strike me as any different from your own description of GPT-2.
A little less hostility in your comment and it would be received better.
Feeding in output as input is exactly what is iterative about DeepDream, and the scenario does not change the fact that GPT-2 and DeepDream are fundamentally different in many important ways and there is no sense in which they are ‘fundamentally the same’, not even close.
And let’s consider the chutzpah of complaining about tone when you ended your own highly misleading comment with the snide
But by all means, spend your $1000 on it. Maybe you’ll learn something in the process.
There was no snide there. I honestly think he’ll learn something of value. I don’t think he’ll get the result he wanted, but he will learn something in the process.
