This AI generates fake Street View images in impressive high definition

Impressive AI demonstration could be a useful tool for animators and video game designers, as well as making machines smarter. Remember when Apple had its disastrous launch of Apple Maps in 2012 and real-world geography suddenly received a dose of accidental "creativity" which replaced hospitals with supermarkets and turned bridges into death slides? Well, researchers at Stanford University and Intel have just debuted a new project which creates imaginary street scenes -- except these folks have done it on purpose. What the researchers have developed is an imaginative artificial intelligence that can create photorealistic Google Street View-style images of fake street scenes. These scenes are rendered in highly detailed 1,024 x 2,048 HD resolution.
