AI learns to paint in the styles of Van Gogh, Turner and Vermeer

AI has learned how to convincingly paint in the style of masters like Van Gogh and Vermeer. Dinesh Manocha at the University of Maryland and colleagues trained an AI to replicate the styles of well-known paintings including the pointillist The Eiffel Tower by Georges Seurat, The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, oil paintings by Johannes Vermeer, and Chinese ink landscapes by Ming dynasty painter Shen Zhou.
