Officially, the appointment started in January and lasts three months. But Reben's relationship with the San Francisco–based AI firm seems casual: "It's a little fuzzy, because I'm the first, and we're figuring stuff out. I'm probably going to keep working with them." In fact, Reben has been working with OpenAI for years already. Five years ago, he was invited to try out an early version of GPT-3 before it was released to the public. "I got to play around with that quite a bit and made a few artworks," he says.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly popular for generating images, a question has roiled the art world: Can AI create art? At bitforms gallery in San Francisco, the answer is yes. An exhibit called "Artificial Imagination" is on display through late December and features works that were created with or inspired by the generative AI system DALL-E as well as other types of AI. With DALL-E, and other similar systems such as Stable Diffusion or Midjourney, a user can type in words and get back an image. August Kamp's 2022 digital image "new experimental version, state of the art" is part of the exhibit "Artificial Imagination" at bitforms gallery in San Francisco. The exhibit features art made with and inspired by OpenAI's AI image generation system DALL-E.

Don't worry, they only look like the Pokemon of your nightmares. The images you are about to see are, in fact, at the very bleeding edge of machine-generated imagery, mixed with collaborative human-AI production by artist Alex Reben and a little help from some anonymous Chinese artists. Reben's latest work, dubbed AmalGAN, is derived from Google's BigGAN image-generation engine. Like other GANs (generative adversarial networks), BigGAN uses a pair of competing AI: one to randomly generate images, the other to grade said images based on how close they are to the training material. However, unlike previous iterations of image generators, BigGAN is backed by Google's mammoth computing power and uses that capability to create incredibly lifelike images.

Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". You'd think that having a sense of taste and smell would be essential in creating the perfect beer, and therefore would be a job reserved for humans only. IntelligentX Brewing Co., is a London-based company which introduced the first beer brewed with the help of artificial intelligence. Their AI, in the form of a chatbot, takes feedback from customers. It asks questions about flavor preferences, often answered with a simple'yes' or'no' or with a 1-10 rating system.

Fortune cookies are as American as baseball and apple pie. Initially popularized in California at the turn of the 20th century, these after meal treats have long counseled casual diners with sage advice, prophetic phrases and lucky numbers. But why should humans have all the fun in crafting these meditative Mad Libs? For his latest project, Alex Reben, the digital artist behind works like the psychedelic Joy of Painting and the voice-controlled violence of Google Shoots, has trained a neural network to generate original one-line maxims like those above. "I trained the system on thousands of fortune cookie fortunes," Reben wrote to Engadget via email.

When Alexander Reben began feeding thousands of inspirational expressions he scraped off the Internet into an algorithm he designed, he wasn't sure what might happen next. The goal was to train artificial intelligence to create the sort of generic messages that someone might find in fortune cookies. The result took the artist and MIT-trained roboticist by surprise. Instead of producing the kind of playful and seemingly vaguely perceptive advice known to bring a smile to people's faces, Reben's technology turned dark -- and undeniably weird. About 75 percent of the machine's fortunes, Reben estimates, ended up being "very negative," though often no less hilarious.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used for everything from facial recognition software to chat bots that interact with a company's potential customers. Some researchers want to discover what happens when they give their neural networks a chance to show their creative side -- and the results are surreal to say the least. AI researcher Robbie Barrat fed a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) thousands of nude portraits from a dataset and then trained it to create its own version of the artwork it processed. The results of the AI art of surreal, swirly naked female forms would impress even the likes of Salvador Dali. Generative adversarial networks are artificial intelligence algorithms that are used in unsupervised machine learning.

An artist taught Google Assistant how to fire gun, creating an art piece that may further increase concerns on whether artificial intelligence is dangerous. While it may still be very far from the human-killing cyborgs from science fiction movies, Google Assistant firing a gun upon a voice command may already be a very scary thought for opponents of artificial intelligence. Alexander Reben, in a video that he uploaded to YouTube, showed his latest work. "OK Google, activate gun," Reben said, prompting a response of "Sure, turning on the gun" from Google Assistant. Following the voice command issued by Reben, the gun fires at the apple in front of it.

Google Assistant is now capable of firing a handgun. The artificial intelligent (AI) assistant has been filmed pulling the trigger for the first time as part of a new video project from artist Alexander Reben. 'Ok Google, activate gun,' Reben can be heard off-screen telling the Google Home. The 30-second'disturbing' video shows the smart speaker process his command, and then pull the air pistol trigger -- firing a round into an apple and knocking it from its perch next to the gun. Google Assistant also responds, saying: 'Sure, turning on the gun.' Artist and roboticist Alexander Reben said creating the Google Home-activated weapon was'easy'.
