“#Google\u2019s new AI tool turns your terrible drawings into hideous monsters<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Google has released a prototype AI app<\/a> that turns your sketches into fantastical monsters \u2014 with varying degrees of success.<\/p>\n

The Big G developed the\u00a0Chimera Painter<\/a>\u00a0to produce an endless stream of creatures for a fantasy card game<\/a> in which the different monsters battle.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The model generated both single-species creatures (bottom row) and more complex multi-species chimeras (top row).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The system is powered by generative adversarial networks (GANs), which create new content by\u00a0pitting two neural networks against each other: a generator that creates new images and a discriminator that attempts to identify which of the designs have been artificially created.<\/p>\n

The tool\u2019s creators trained the GANs on thousands of computer-generated creature images, each of which was paired with a \u201csegmentation map\u201d showing its body parts.<\/p>\n

This enabled the model to generate new monsters from new drawings of different body parts.<\/p>\n

You can try the tool out for yourself by heading\u00a0to the\u00a0<\/span>Chimera Painter website<\/a>. You can use it to\u00a0<\/span>customize the pre-loaded designs, import your own images, or generate new ones in the app, as I did to create this beautiful flying rabbit:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our hope that these GAN models and the Chimera Painter demonstration tool might inspire others to think differently about their art pipeline,\u201d the app\u2019s creators <\/span>wrote\u00a0in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cWhat can one create when using machine learning as a paintbrush?<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

Not much, if my own appalling efforts are anything to go by. But more talented artists may find more creative value in AI\u2018s brush strokes.<\/p>\n
