Rather, they're a mashup of bodies, bread and faces twisted grotesquely together and set in a nightmare tent. How did a system so great at generating realistic fake faces go so spectacularly wrong in this scenario? According to Shane's article, it's a vivid (and hilarious) demonstration of what you can and can't do with current deep learning technology. It wasn't a lack of data, since Shane trained the system using 55,000 images from the GBBO. However, the problems started when she introduced faces that were unlike the ones it learned on.

The actor Danny McBride looked around the Jekyll & Hyde Club, in the West Village, and said, "This is where the New York bankers do all the big deals, huh?" It was shortly after noon, and the putatively scary horror-themed restaurant--skeletons in top hats, chattering mummies--was empty. "I worked in places like this in Los Angeles," the actor continued, "and I recognize that disgusting stale-beer stink." Unconcerned, McBride ordered a Caesar salad with chicken, then suggested that the menu was a missed opportunity: "The names should be more horror-infused, more'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' Wings." In Ridley Scott's new film, "Alien: Covenant," the latest installment of the actually scary horror franchise about aliens who burst from the bellies of spaceship crew members, McBride plays a jaunty Southerner named Tennessee.
