Creative AI makes epic dinosaur art by cleverly arranging pictures of flowers

Think machines can't be creative? This awesome use of artificial intelligence to make epic dinosaur art will make you question that assumption. Neural networks can do some awesome things, from allowing cars to drive on their own to instantly translating dozens of languages. But when it comes to our personal favorite use cases, we're going with one recently engineered by Australian artist Chris Rodley. By combining a deep-learning algorithm, a book of dinosaur pictures, and a book of flower paintings, he's created some of the trippiest images this side of an M.C. "The tech that makes this work isn't mine, but was created by a team of researchers from Germany who published a paper on it two years ago," Rodley told Digital Trends. "The idea of the group, led by Leon Gatys, was to transfer an art style as represented in a sample print to a target photograph.
