THIS WAS SO FUNNY.

It makes me wish I was a better artist so I could do these models justice but I really do think the beauty in AI doesn’t come from how good it is at doing it’s job but how the biases in the original data sets and the human-ness to the human inputs in the prediction models make something completely unexpected.

 

I was trying to make it like one of those black cat photos where they look really funny. I’m not great at drawing though 🙁 BUT! the cat still looks Cat-like.

Cat heart <3

Cat!

THIS looks like an actual shoe! Sort of!

This too :).

 

This was trained on very specific buildings– Like neo-classical style buildings mostly and I tried to draw a more modern design and Im not sure if it Vibed with it very well :O. I wonder what would happen if it was trained also on modern buildings? Would it create a clash in designs? Would it make everything more inaccurate?

I found pix2pix so much fun to play around with. At first, I wanted to use my iPad to draw and see if anything would change with more accurate input on the user side, but I couldn’t draw inside the box with my Apple Pencil.

I tried drawing nyancat to see what pix2pix would make

I tried drawing something completely unrelated to a cat to see what would come out.

This one was a more realistic creation to see how realistic it would be.

This one was just completely random to see what would happen.

I wanted to see if edges2handbags would recognize a fanny pack.

I had a lot of fun working with pix2pix. It felt like a weird collaboration between me and the machine, as I changed the drawings around depending on what the machine was and wasn’t able to interpret.
