Deep Dream

[BlackCurtains]

How many of you have been playing with this?

If you haven't heard: Google Deep Dream is AI that has learned how to "see" images by looking at similar images. For the last couple of months it's been available online for you to give it your own images to look at and interpret what it sees. It was trained using pictures of dogs, so it sees a lot of dogs in a lot of things that maybe kinda look like they might be dogs to it. It's also a fan of eyeballs and birds. Basically, any image you give it, it turns into something totally weird. I love it

I just did a big batch of pictures and wanted to share. If you have Deep Dream pics, please share yours too!

We'll start with my Italy Applejack. I love how it turned her ribbon into a rooster...? Looks like a rooster anyway And it tried to make something of her tail.

Backyard birds. This pic is interesting because it seems to have grown an entirely new thing out of the grass next to the spoonbill. Makes me wonder if there is something there that I don't see. aliens

I have to admit, I thought this one would turn out way more weird.

My dog. With... other creatures. A horse perhaps in his leg and apparently growing a second head where his tail was.

[kaoskat]

That's really really weird!

[melodys_angel]

I..Wouldn't want to use that. Im not a fan.

This is terrifyingly weird and amazing at the same time. It's crazy what technology can do.

Every time I see these I find them so so creepy, but its still a cool idea

[Squirrelypaws]

I can't decide if I find these fascinating or terrifying.

No love for Deep Dream?

When the robots take over this is how they'll see the world! We'll have nothing to worry about because they won't even recognize humans - cats and dogs will rule the robots

Oh my gosh!! My boyfriend just taught me about this the other day, I love it! I don't know where to get it or how to use it myself though but I love images you've put into it.

Well there is this link - http://deepdreamgenerator.com/
But personally I cannot get that one to work.

The one I used is called Psychic VR Lab but I can't link to it because the front page shows the most recent images, and some people upload some NSFW stuff. It takes a couple of days for Deep Dream to process your pics but it is totally worth it.

That's more like Cyriak Simulator than 'Deep Dream'

That dog face tho

Pretty wacky.  Not sure why it reminds me of that short story "the long dream"  maybe because it's so surreal looking.

Me:  I wonder what my favorite Transformers character would look like with this?

I put it one of my drawings (can't post it here as it is just barely too inappropriate for the arena) and got a pretty cool result. I knew it wouldn't be as insane since it's a drawing instead of a picture but I still love it!
