  As you know, GauGAN is the following (from [this post](https://www.iotworldtoday.com/2021/11/25/nvidia-launches-latest-gaugan-ai-landscape-generation-model/)):
  
  > GauGAN was a Microsoft Paint-style platform that let uses create landscape images, with the model then able to turn them into photorealistic images.
  
  So, it is a generative adversarial network (GAN) to create images. As it works like an artist, its authors named it GauGAN after "Paul **Gau**guin" who was a French Post-Impressionist artist (refer into [this post](https://ddg.wiki/gaugan/)).
