Sometimes a genus name or specific descriptor is simply the Latin or Greek name for the animal (e.g. Canis is Latin for ...
A ganimal, also commonly referred to as GANimal, is a hybrid animal created with generative artificial intelligence systems, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) or diffusion models. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The concept was created for a website from the MIT Media Lab in 2020, where users could create ganimal images.
