The discriminator then compares the fake images to real photos. After numerous iterations, the generator learns how to fool the discriminator into believing the artificial images are real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The visualizations are then projected onto photos of real places. You can see them for yourself at a website called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thisclimatedoesnotexist.com\/home\">This Climate Does Not Exist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just enter an address listed on Google Street View and the system will slap your choice of flood, wildfire, or smog onto the location.<\/p>\n<p>The images do not exist, but the disasters they depict could make the abstract impacts of climate change more concrete.<\/p>\n<p><em>Greetings Humanoids!
