Synthetic data generation techniques vary widely, with their effectiveness depending heavily on the specific use case and the required fidelity to real-world data distributions. While some methods are suitable for tasks like creating test fixtures or tuning model style, others struggle when precise statistical inference or replacing entire training datasets is required. A key factor in success is how closely the generated data's joint distribution must match the real data, with tasks relying on rare or tail-end cases being particularly challenging for current generative models.
