#3Good work! Training on vector pictures instead of rasterised images seems such a good way to go. With some related data, I imagine this can also be colored.

I don't know but those pictures are going to give me nightmares. It's like the uncanny valley horror show.

Velocity of point accumulation seems to be significant

#6I've read through all comments and referred docs, but no one seemed to offer much reason why we'd want machines to draw sketches. An incomplete list:
* It's a different way to represent drawings. Alternative to pixels
* Perhaps making it easier to render old-school animation at one point?

One thing interesting about this kind of automatic/AI-generated art is that it forces us to examine preconceptions about human creativeness. What does art mean when an algorithm can paint or draw as well?

It's a fun rabbit hole though, the many sub-perfect bicycle sketches reminded me to this project, when someone created 3D renders…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd imagine that it would be in the same vein as teaching a child to draw; you don't start by teaching them how to draw like Van Gogh. I'd assume that Google is going to up the complexity once their neural network reaches a certain milestone. Imagine 20 years from now and you have a humanistic robot drawing with your child at the kitchen table à la iRobot.
It's interesting to think about, regardless. Stuff like this gets me excited (and motivated!) to delve into machine learning and AI.

Human creativity is related to process and the experience of creating from nothing.
The process is more important than the end result.

Since day one HN has used an algorithm that takes the article age into account when determining what to show on the homepage.
