AI vs a giraffe with no spots

On July 31, 2023, a giraffe with no spots was born at Brights Zoo in Tennessee. She's a uniform brown with pretty white highlights around her face and belly, like a Jersey cow or a white-tailed deer. Image recognition algorithms are trained on a variety of images from

Since OpenAI released CLIP, trained on internet pictures and their nearby text, people have been using it to generate images. In all these methods - CLIP+Dall-E [https://www.aiweirdness.com/the-drawings-of-dall-e/], CLIP+BigGAN [https://www.aiweirdness.com/searching-for-bernie/], CLIP+FFT [https://www.aiweirdness.com/lucid-deep-dreaming], CLIP+VQGAN [https://www.

The Visual Chatbot

There is a delightful algorithm called Visual Chatbot [http://demo.visualdialog.org/] that will answer questions about any image it sees. It’s a demo by a team of academic researchers that goes along with a recent machine learning research paper [https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.08669](and a challenge

Do neural nets dream of electric sheep?

If you’ve been on the internet today, you’ve probably interacted with a neural network. They’re a type of machine learning algorithm that’s used for everything from language translation to finance modeling. One of their specialties is image recognition. Several companies - including Google, Microsoft, IBM, and
