Apparently an A.I. project produced this picture. What does it remind you of? Options

I found it on Reddit, there is no validity of it yet but if true that means that AI tapped in the DMT realms.
Of course it is a fractal and obviously the AI had been fed with images but it is amazing how this
reminds of just when you come down from a DMT trip...

The details are amazing.

Surprised
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Oh yeah. I saw this one too. Pretty fascinating. I really wonder how it was composed. I searched for more info quite a long time...didn't find anything though. Any Ideas?

That's the picture I see of my best mate when we get on the DMT Big grin look at him rolling around in hyperspaceLaughing love it!

Amazing picture, as with DMT, you have this 'zoom effect', the more you watch it the more you see details in details.

And of course, kikker is there ^^ (down left)

This reminds me of some experiences with psilocybe. Especially all those waves of colors and patterns. Big grin

Interesting to say the least!

If true, I would like to know what parameters the AI had to work with. Was it given some reference to work with? Was its objective to best portray a dog? Was it to determine between a dog and a frog?, both of these phonetically sound similar to us, maybe the test was linguistic interpretation and comprehension?

Very interesting.

*edit* also I see Frodo and Sam standing beside their hyperspace dune buggy, lol. (Lower left)

Conclusive proof that computers like to get high too. Don't think we have to worry about time travelling robots coming back to kill John Connor, they'll be too busy hyperspace travelling. Laughing

Most of this is way over my head, but what I gathered is that it's a program designed to replicate a "human" generated image, either by using a preset stock of images or by using and "choosing" images on the net, it then repeats that image over and over again in increasing complexity to give contrast, color, form, and light/dark values.

The term AI actually throws me for a loop, I caught my self asking "what was its purpose? What am I seeing when I process the data my brain receives from my eyes? What is my purpose? What is my intelligence?

I know its over my head, but I still find these things no less fascinatingSmile

I think the use of "AI" is somewhat inflammatory here. Somebody made a program that can generate that sort of art. Whether it is intelligent is speculation. I have no reason to believe that it is simply based on a single image. Sure an intelligent person can generate art, but not everything that generates "art" is intelligent.

I'd like to see more art by this program. It seems the creator could simply run it again and again and produce an endless number of fascinating images like the one in the link. Funny how there's just the one...

I am still super intruiged by this image. Nobody knows it's original source. On reddit there are claims that this was leaked somewhere.

I found another image which somehow was generated by a convolutional neural network. It's pretty small but seems to go in the same direction.

For me it seems to have to do with machine learning and image recognition/reproduction.

And here's a PDF wich seems to be very related but which is way over my head. Maybe someone find's it interesting nevertheless.

Cool find steppa.

On a related note, I came across this article today.

Researchers take a neural network designed to identify objects and use it in reverse to generate some similar images.

So...there we have it: It was made by google.

Have some more images. I'm sure they will blow some minds on here. Click!

And some context which explains how they were made here.

I looked at those images that are supposed to be "random collections of pixels" to humans. (It was either in the link you posted or I followed a link from that site to another article, I forgot.) I could see all the depicted objects. All the elements are clearly there, the RGB noise makes little difference o.o is that weird? Can't everyone see the armadillo and the gorilla and the other things in the pixel noise images?

It would be interesting to hear James L. Kent's take on this...
โ€œI sometimes marvel at how far Iโ€™ve come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: โ€œare all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?โ€ For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many.โ€
