Usually, to create nude portraits of humans, of course, humans need to do it themselves. However, with the development of technology, this situation is changing
Robbie Barrat, a young programmer in Virginia, USA, used a computer neural network program (artificial intelligence similar to the human brain), by observing thousands of nude portraits, training it to create own work
In a Twitter post, the programmer said the program would often paint humans as fleshy blobs and spit out tendrils and limbs at random, adding: "I want to know how machines see us."
Although most of the women in the images look rough and even deformed, in general, they are very similar to the human body
Bharat said the AI creates images by forming a set of "rules" based on its own observations of the shape, size and color of patterns in nude portraits. The materials currently used are mainly "portraits from at least a few hundred years ago"
The system uses a set of algorithms from Nvidia, a well-known artificial intelligence computing company, called Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). It uses two sets of neural networks, one called the "generator" and the other called the "discriminator". The former tries to create paintings to confuse the latter, the latter tries to learn to discern the difference between the former's work and a real painting...
Through such confrontation, AI learning can be accelerated (and occasionally stuck in an infinite loop)
After the related "work" was shared on Twitter, it attracted the attention of many netizens:
@SapphirePelican said: "Imagine artificial intelligence creating limitless art, symphonies, food, and fiction in the blink of an eye, which will force people to rethink what they call art and push its boundaries even harder"
@krdluzni said: "I find it disturbing that even though they are so twisted, my brain is still able to recognize these human structures"
@PraxJarvin said: "I'm reminded of the aliens in Star Trek who see humans as ugly pockets made mostly of moisture"
It is not the first time that artificial intelligence has stepped into the "creative field" that was originally dominated by humans. Last year, a user named "deepfakes" on the Reddit website used open source machine learning tools to create several fake videos: the body is an adult movie actress, And the face is a Hollywood actress (the example in the picture is Gal Gadot)
The principle of this technology is to collect a large number of facial images of celebrities, compile the images, and then let AI learn, and finally generate facial images of celebrities from various angles. Generating fake star porn movies in hours with just a consumer graphics card
Relevant content has been blocked by various websites due to suspected violations of the law. But in theory, using the photos and videos that ordinary people upload to the Internet, they can also be "grafted" to occasions where they have never appeared...
Technological progress seems inevitable, but what will it ultimately look like? Depends on how we grasp it!
