I find their argument to be pretty weak. Of course these images look semantically similar; they ran a semantic similarity search to find them.

They are clearly not memorized training examples. The pose, framing, and facial expressions are very different.

I don't think the author of the post took a position on the original argument; rather they just presented ways to explore the latent space and make comparisons that are reasonable so that we might derive better distance metrics.

I see it as a potential way to probe for evidence of mode collapse.
