The Secret Lives of Generative AI Models: What They Create When We’re Not Watching

Alert!!! This isn’t just another typical generative AI blog. It’s an opportunity to step beyond the basics and explore the lesser-known, often surprising aspects of what these models come up with when we step out of the room. Curious? Now imagine this. A generative model working silently in a data center, processing information at lightning speed. Its job might be done for now, but the neurons inside its deep learning layers are still firing. What happens during those quiet moments? What does a generative model “dream” of when it isn’t under human supervision? Let’s find out! The Hidden World of Latent Space Generative models are built on complex architectures such as GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), transformers, or diffusion models. At their core is the latent space, a mathematical representation of all the patterns the model has learned. In this space, data isn’t stored as images, text, or sounds — it exists as encoded information, like coordinates on a map. Each p ... Read full article.
