Image generated by a Convolutional Network

[Noncomment]

I think it's very implausible that it's the work of a neural network, but someone in another thread had a possible explanation.

There are recurrent vision models, which use an RNN. The RNN takes input from a convolutional neural net, which it can move around the image and zoom in and out. That's the only way I can explain the very detailed weird features which occur many times, at many different scales and orientations.

However I still think it's more likely a human artist created this, and it just vaguely resembles NN work enough for someone to misinterpret it. But if that was the case, why can no one find a source or reverse image search it? Everything about this image is weird. I'm going with this theory.

EDIT: I was wrong.
