If a computer generates 100000000 unfunny jokes and one that seems funny, does that count?

It's not very different from how I learned to tell jokes. My brothers heard a lot of terrible jokes before I figured out timing and other aspects of humour. If it makes you laugh, it's a good joke. What does the origin matter?

You're not making an argument that Pikazo generates real art. You're making an argument that humans don't make real art. This notion has absolutely no interesting implications for AI. It's like saying "language is relative, so any output of Google Translate is just as valid as what you think is valid".

And now at http://deepart.io/ we have hi-resolution and the authors of the algorithm on-board. Thanks for mentioning us :)

Would you mind going into detail on how higher res is achieved? Splitting the original image into smaller regions, and rendering each separately?

Given that we are discussing it in the comments of the app who just misappropriated the algorithm, I unfortunately have to refuse your request for the moment, sorry. We love open research and open source but there is always some risk involved.

Just some UI/UX observations: The "Use style" wording didn't immediately register for me that the images were clickable. I wondered why the gallery images all had the same description when they were clearly different styles! Perhaps "Use this style" would be more expressive? When you do click through, it shows the same image (with face) to be used as the style image, leaving me wondering if a user provided style imag…

Thank you very much! As these are recent changes which we haven't tested live, your comments are very useful and we are actually implementing them now.

There is 30 characters limit for the mail field :(.

Indeed, there is a bug in submission form. You can register with longer emails through the registration form. Thanks for reporting the error.

Is this done with the deep learning research that was published here a couple of months ago?

I was just thinking that. Seems it might be based on the description. Kinda interested how they'd do it in a speedy way on mobile devices. Hope they didn't just knock-off the open-source code though.

"Stiefvater [...] described it to me as 'black magic,' and doesn’t even fully understand how it works. He downloaded it from Github, where a computer programmer he’s never met posted it."

> No, it wouldn't count. Because then we would have some thousands of bohemian rhapsodies. The computer broke after completing the work: now does it count? I don't understand your idea of art, isn't there beauty in the result? You give different value if the same result has been reached by a computer, chaos or a human? Do you have to know how the piece has been produced to decide if it's art or not?

Yes. A rock that's been pleasingly shaped by desert winds is not considered art. But if we'd later find out that it was actually a man-made artifact, it would become a candidate for this label.

So then the computer software that generated the joke would be considered the work of art instead of the jokes that were generated? After all, the software was man-made, even though the generated output was computer-made.

Yes. That was back in September. Before Pikazo or Deepart even existed.

Let's refrain from making nasty implications about each other, shall we? Thank you.
