AI Visual Interpretations Bridge The Gap
August 21, 2018
By now, we are all well versed in the amazing advances in AI and machine learning. From increasing travel efficiency to managing your household, these dynamic programs are sweeping the globe. However, when a recent chatbot began looking at images and creating new works of art, it sparked some debate. We discovered more from a recent Alphr story, “Microsoft’s AI Can Create Decent Chinese Poetry from Just a Few Images.”
According to the story:
“Conversation isn’t all it’s able to do, with the AI creating better poetry than I managed in my university creative writing module. And, while Xiaolce isn’t the first AI to create poetry – just look at this one recreating Donald Trump’s famously erudite speeches – it is the first that’s able interpret images as poetry.”
AI processing visual data for other purposes will move beyond converting visual inputs to poetry. AI has been successful in diagnosing skin cancer, a visual application. Hyperbole is often more common than tangible benefits where AI is concerned.
