Google sets up feedback loop on it's image recognition neural network - holy shit

Na I'm good.
Google's recognition software is told to find for a specific X, like Dogs or western architecture.
It tries to find the closet matches and repeats over and over again in a feedback loop. And then after many many many loops of this action, it spits out the featured pictures. So for the Knight picture, the software is told to find dog faces, and it loops over and over again looking for dog faces. So you get this unnatural fusion of the original picture mixed with all of the 'dog faces' that the software could find.
And people all over have said that it is eerily similar to what happens on an acid trip etc.

Computers can dream now. Great, we're even more fucked in the not so distant future.
I really want some high quality prints of a few, they'd make great wall prints...imagine the conversation over canapés, this one is great who is the artist? Answer: GoogleBot

I want to buy several of these...
Who is the artist? Google's neural network-wat

Indeed. And it's literally doing the same thing.

Was about to say, Google's trying to pitch ideas to From Soft for how Bloodborne 2 needs to look when the character has high insight. XD
This gets me every time. And some of these images are incredible...I want!

Google just needs to be aware of itself now then we're fucked.
Pretty amazing what it can paint from scratch, too. It created these out of a random noise pattern:
"So here’s one surprise: neural networks that were trained to discriminate between different kinds of images have quite a bit of the information needed to generate images too."
So Google is Picasso now.

God damn, that is terrifyingly beautiful.

I have a very mild form of this. Effectively just makes colours more saturated, and everything look sharper, with some aura stuff thrown in. I actually like it, but for some people it means you can't even read a book without the words bouncing around all over the place.
Also, to echo what others have said this is VERY close to stuff you can see on psychedelic drugs.

Wonder if we'll get higher-resolution versions of these soon, these are absolutely awesome to look at
Maybe I didn't take enough acid...

I want to run through this in first person in a video game.
I could imagine something like this could be quite terrifying if used in VR space, imagine some sort of horror game that warps the world you're in ever so slightly using these algorithms looking for completely random faces or objects. Could make for an interesting hallucination simulator too.
It probably takes a long time to generate these images so I doubt a game could do it on the fly.
Imagine though.
Teach one of these networks to recognize skeletons and eyeballs and then unleash it on random shit.
Holy fuck that would be terrifying.
It actually opens up doors to a whole new artform.

The way it collages animal features onto other similar features is very fractal like.

Make a different net for audio recognition one for big scale planing and one for inventing stuff. Then interconnect those.

Pretty nuts.

So this is what it feels like to be replaced by a machine... it's actually kind of nice! This thing is like my robot brother from another clockwork mother.
So, how does this work exactly?
The supervisor is handing the images to the neural network and tells it to look for something like bananas, architecture or animals or eyes (shudder) and then the program goes an a search? Or does the network looks for something familiar, recognizes a shape and then the feedback loop happens when the picture comes back and the network looks for more of the same?
Some pictures are truly terrifying - the architecture ones are really beautiful though.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Beautiful and eery. As others have said this almost perfectly captures the psychosis imagery experienced on hallucingetics, to a fairly startling degree, as it forgoes deliberate psychedelic art for generated mathematical precision. The machine like qualities of the psyche going haywire with pattern recognition and association. I mean, this is borderline a robot on acid. And that kinda creeps me out.
It's spectacular. Every previous attempt at portraying the visual aspect of the psychedelic experience has been comprehensively beaten here. I never thought it would be possible. But here we are, actually reconstructing the process by which we hallucinate, and making a machine do it. It's one of the most amazing things I've seen all year.
They have neural net pattern recognition for video too, right? I want to see *that* run backwards.
