It's an art project, which uses AI to generate patterns, which fool other AIs.

Those patterns for example make an AI recognize a tank painted with it as an umbrella or similar.

@janellecshane there was a mastodon bot that "recognized" pics ... Where is it now?

@janellecshane i am now going to greet every sheep i encounter "hello, flower"

@janellecshane Thanks a lot, just what I needed before going to sleep.

@janellecshane

My student trained some classifiers on ImageNet and the result was that all quadrupeds were predicted as dog.

We then switched to MS Coco and found that -- while the caption generation is often good for a laugh -- the object detection was not pretty good in most cases.

Not detecting sheep on trees maybe shows that the Deep Networks now have actually a good "common sense"

I wonder how it fare on the columbine harvester picture?

@janellecshane Surrealism relies upon contextual comprehension.

That is an AI-hard problem, and until we have functionally structured AI designs, that will be very hard to achieve, and effectively impossible to prove if we do achieve it.

@janellecshane That's not surprising, given the nature of the training the neural networks are put through: I don't suppose pictures like yours are typically shown to them.

Conclusion: the tools we are using to recognise images are still too basic (and we understand them quite poorly).

The pics and the comments are coool 👏
