Twitch Plays AI / Interactive Neural Network
No doubt you’ve seen Google’s image recognition artificial neural networks being turned around and used to generate inceptionism images. Neural Networks have been in the news for generation lately: remember those Magic: the Gathering Cards?
Well, some Belgian PhD students hooked up a dreaming neural network to a Twitch chat stream and have a live broadcast of what the AI finds. It switches what it’s looking for based on what people mention in the chat stream. Above you can see some dogsleds, castles, and volcanos, and other things.
Jonas Degreve, who I gather did most of the work, has a blog post explaining the technical details.
