Is AI the correct description for the tool being used here? I can see the artificial part; but the intelligence seems to be human.

More of a “Ceci n’est pas Olesya” / Treachery of Images than “X does not exist”, really.

No doubt someone has already done This GAN Does Not Exist, which randomly generates a different GAN generating things that do not exist every time you refresh the page.

Quite so. In my humble reading of the current publications which declare ‘A.I.’ the large majority are (just) iterative statistics. And since most Bayesian implementations are iterative to start with, they get to declare themselves a “A.I.”. (12,000 years ago, when all computer terminals were green ascii, ‘A.I.’ were all language parsing databases)
Or as one of my colleagues bemoaned recently: “pfff… all A.I. is is just was we used to call curve fitting”
(whutza “fax machine”…?)

I could see something like this being used to correct for lens distortion once a baseline has been established. Maybe in realtime video? I don’t know much about this. Maybe it’s being done already.
