> Essentially you add random noise to the inputs and train by minimizing the regular loss (like l1) and at the same time maximizing the difference between 2 members with different random noise initialisations. I wonder if this will be applied to more traditional genai at some point.

We recently had a situation where we specifically wanted to generate 2 "different" outputs from an optimization task and struggled to come up with a good heuristic for doing so. Not at all a GenAI task, but this technique probably would have helped us.

This idea is often used for self-supervised learning (SSL). E.g. see DINO (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14294).
