Deep Dream comes true
Artificial Intelligence always fascinated me. Not only as a useful set of tools, being continuously evolved. But also as an experiment field. Some years ago, as Neural Network based solutions popped up everywhere, it was a breakthrough, a silent one back to those days.
The fact of a system, learning and developing itself without direct influence of programmer was a beautiful one. And a terrifying one for some people, who was seeing a Terminator-esque danger of a total domination of machines smashing human skulls in the total AI Apocalypse.
Here is a takeaway, even before we start:
It’s not about the AI to be evil. It’s about ourselves, about people, being enabled to do evil things using AI. So why do you look at the speck of sawdust in our system eye and pay no attention to the controller in our own hand?
I personally was just overwhelmed by the possibilities for creativity, being provided with the usage of AI. Back to the early days of Neural Networks I was captivated by Google Deep Dream and installed its virtual instance on my laptop (you can right now check it out in the web based version provided by Deep Dream developer Alex Mordvintsev). In the case of DeepDream AI took a further step…
