Excerpt:

Google sets up feedback loop in its image recognition neural network - which looks for patterns in pictures - creating hallucinatory images of animals, buildings and landscapes which veer from beautiful to terrifying

Well, Google... you can rock me to sleep tonight.

Because the singularity wasn't terrifying enough, now Skynet is going to try to turn us all into Van Gogh paintings.

 

[Babbylonian]

On this day, like so many before, I love Google just a little bit more.

 

[deaman]

Pretty cool.

A virtual Van Gogh!

 

[Porpoise of Life]

That image of the knight is just terrifying.

From the article

Ultimately, the software can even run on an image which is nothing more than random noise, generating features that are entirely of its own imagination.

So we have successfully simulated a modern art critic? Awesome.

The actual google article is worth reading.

Those silicon-based neural networks are 'creating' a damn fine psychedelic and visionary art!

The similarities are so obvious and profound that I tend to think that Google engineers have in their hands the best algorithmic-mathematical model of psychedelic imagery ever developed.

Google invents trigger generator.
Didn't this start with "Lotus Pod Breast?"

Absolutely fascinating article. I've used the red tree picture as my desktop. Kudos to Google!
