But is it art?

Key Takeaways

Move over, Picasso.

A new neural connection can draw images based on text.

The system uses a neural web connection thats been trained on billions of pictures and text examples.

The data is then processed by a natural language model and is trained to produce images from text.

GPT-3 was trained using half a trillion words of internet text and can produce surprisingly lifelike text.

Teaching a machine to understand language well enough to draw a picture is a very significant achievement.

“The initial creativity comes from the human who constructed the task,” Schwartz said.

Robot Detective Work?

A machine can experiment with this data and object combination much faster than a human artist.

“These visualizations could then be integrated to create a more precise image of lost evidence.

This visualization could be enriched by integrating previous imagery of the location prior to the crime.”

Several other AI-driven programs can produce art.

For example,Ai-Dauses a robotic arm system and facial recognition technology paired with artificial intelligence to create art.

After taking a look at DALL-Es work, I understand Elgammals point that the AI-created images arent art.

On the other hand, they are better than any art I could create.

So, really, whats the difference?
