The singularity advances!!
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 7:13PM A computer creates an image from it's very own imagination. The images were not copied from a photo. Is this the beginning of the end??:
Computer scientist Simon Colton has created software called the Painting Fool, which he claims possesses creative talents. In this video, you can see some of its recent artwork, demonstrating a range of styles. One of its pieces uses visual attributes of the human body to produce a crowd of people, while in another example it uses a more impressionistic style. What first appears to be a straightforward painting of a hand reveals a hidden dimension when turned sideways. This shows the software's ability to surprise its viewers with its creations.
