I've never read any benchmarks around render time on sophisticated GANs, so maybe the answer to this is obvious, but: Is this showing a random selection from a set of offline-generated images, or is the GAN actually generating these on each request?

This is what always bothers me about demonstrations of the technology. There's almost always a extra hidden layer of human curation of the output so we only see the examples that are most interesting (90% amazing result with a mixture of hilarious/horrible bad results for flavor)
This work is impressive, I don't mean to take anything away from it, but if the author had to filter through 1000 images to select the 5 I saw, that's ... disappointing?
It's definitely not generating an image for each page load. If you refresh the page you get the same image more often than you get a new image.
It looks like there is just throttling on requests, if you request a new one too quickly, it will just give you the same one
It's constantly generating new images and serves always the freshest one.
