That's not really what it's doing at all. I suggest doing a deep dive in to what Machine Learning is all about. It's going to fundamentally change a lot of things. This is just the very start of it.

Hey, baby... do you believe in f8?

It's going to change art, but not likely replace it - just bring it to another level.

You can bet that an artist using this technology will be able to create far more interesting things than a...

What's amazing is that it was able to come up with a nearly nonsensical tree to fit the shape that was drawn. The people drawing those shapes are just random people. Give this technology a few...

On the contrary, this is going to fundamentally change many technologies and fields of work. This is just the most visible aspect of it. Machine Learning algorithms are an entirely new way of...

short answer is - absolutely. Someone just needs to create training data for it. What you need is about 100,000 images of naked women, and someone would have to analyze them all to pick out various...

What you're seeing now is like the drawings of a 5 year old. Not great, but it'll get better. In 10 years, this technology will be producing far better results. Plus, the detail and scale on these...

This is exactly where this is headed. At the moment, there are strange fractal-like artifacts in the transition zones and details many of these images, but that'll just get better with time too....

The images for the training are not stolen. They're generally licensed under Creative Commons. This kind of technology doesn't need good quality photos, just bulk. All kinds of non-photographers...

The images being used for these purposes aren't coming from professional photographers. They're coming from your average person with a cell phone, who doesn't really care if their photos being used...

@3pgrey But, what if they're just using the images to "look at them" and spur their creative process? To me, that's essentially what the ML users are doing. They're not reselling the images. You...

I'll go against popular sentiment on this one.

Copyright is there to prevent copying of your images. People using these images for machine learning don't need to copy your images. If you've...
