Ground truth is real data that’s been verified by correct. Eg a bunch a images that are labeled “hot dog” or “not hot dog”.
-
Structured data just means that it’s in a consistent machine-readable format that programs can easily interact with.
-
Guided means that it’s not operating from nothing, the process is being influenced or constrained by something.
Taken together it means that they’re taking input data (probably the existing artwork), converting it into a structured data format that’s easier to work with, then that’s used to augment or restrict the AI process to move in the right direction or not go off the rails.
I say it’s misleading because this is something that was fairly obvious to everyone looking at it, even if they didn’t know that terminology. What their model is producing is obviously influenced by and recognizable as a modified version of the original. Even if the overall outcome is lacking.

I think they’re saying that it’s not generating slop from nothing. They take the artist’s “structure data” as a “ground truth” and the generation is “guided” to generate slop that won’t deviate too far from the original?
