Google Trained Computers To Make Their Own Trippy Art
 

Google is doing here is essentially reversing image recognition, and telling its computers to use the images they already know to augment new images. As Singularity Hub (via Engadget) explains: “Where the software was allowed to ‘free associate’ and then forced into feedback loops to reinforce these associations — it found images and patterns (often mash-ups of things it had already seen) where none existed previously.”Google says it’s doing this to help it visualize how neural networks work. Its researchers are also well aware that this is full-on, lava lamp and bong water, “have you every really looked at your hands, man?” stuff. Which is why its blog post talking about all of this is titled “Inceptionism.”

There’s a gallery full of this stuff, and you should definitely check it out when you are in the right time and place.

Google’s researchers working on image recognition have trained their computers to do it with any image.

Great news.... thanks for sharing this information.
