Will generative models replace the need for real-world datasets?
Generative models have the potential to produce photorealistic images that look similar to training data. So, do we still need datasets if we have good enough generative models? MIT researchers Ali Jahanian , Yonglong Tian , Xavier Puig , and Phillip Isola have investigated this question in the setting of learning general-purpose visual representations from a black-box generative model rather than directly from data.
