Apart from reminding me of a sunny day in 2004 when "aliens flew over my head" in a field - this is pretty interesting:

"Neural net “dreams”— generated purely from random noise, using a network trained on places by MIT Computer Science and AI Laboratory."

Is this the dawn of a new age, or art? Creativity of this sort is not human, with some modification or exploration we could be looking at a new dawn in the artistic spectrum where humans and Neural Networks collaborate.

Google also has the ability to imagine things based on your search results, so maybe customised interpretations would be more interesting still.

Interesting. The images definitely remind me of some fungus fueled evenings. Is it art, not sure, does an artist needs such an elaborate tool for inspiration? I don't know, not being an artist.

Seeing as Google can already recognise speech and music, I'd like to see what happens if you try it on those 😀

Woah man. My hands can touch everything but themselves, etc etc.

That's very cool though. Interesting to see that computers focused on recognition end up making the same sort of 'errors' that the human brain does, like when we see faces in random patterns etc.

People have been using algorithms and whatnot in all sorts of artforms for ages, this is just another tool to add to the collection. That doesn't mean that those pictures up there are "Art" necessarily, of course, but there's no reason why art couldn't be made using this process.

So computers have a grip on reality like an acid fuelled tripper?

I'll try to forget that comforting thought next time I fly through air traffic computer controlled space. 🙂
