It should have learned better right ?\nBut not only it messed up my GAN (same GAN performed well with original set of images) but also it started creating something like two faced  dogs . Does that mean its memorizing ? How else it will try to create same dog with two faces attached ? Or am i seeing things ?\n<img src=\"https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/kaggle-user-content/o/inbox%2F2234817%2F90bb6472cbaacc2b61110fa4cda45b58%2F__results___11_0.png?generation=1563874006996360&amp;alt=media\" alt=\"\"></p>",
