Wait, what’s a cat again?
At the very center of the hole, everything cancels. But it is unstable. As you head in any direction, you will get pulled further. Which means that there are also tides pulling you apart.
At the center of the solid ring of the torus, everything also cancels. But this time the tides are squishing you together. Which is why the configuration is stable.
Another thing that really bothers me is that no one tries to replicate any of these results without neural networks[1]. To most people here this is the natural result of deep neural networks being the bestest algorithm ever. To me, this indicates that much of the current ML research fails to generate true insight.

[1] For example, what would GAN-like architecture look with gcForests? No one seems to care about questions like this, even though gcForests have tons of practical advantages over neural nets.
I don't think anyone who knows what they're talking about would say otherwise.
Even in this[1] difficult comparison you can see the non-human repeating skin patterns on the right and the awkward teeth contour. Also hair-on-skin often looks wet and with unnatural bends.
When comparing wrinkly people then it gets a little harder.
Look at the clothes and necklace. The clothes are different on left and right sides of her face - the moment you see it you can't unsee it and it's obviously wrong.
