If there is one thing that I have learned, it is that imaging neural networks can produce some creepy results. But sometimes the results can be beautiful too. Chris Rodley used a deep learning algorithm to merge a book of dinosaurs with a book of flower paintings. The results are astounding and it is actually something approaching fine art.
Using the Deepart.io algorithm offers different results from Google’s Deep Dream, since it applies features of an artist’s visual style to another image. This keeps recognizable details and uses them to rebuild the target image from scratch.
So what you get are dinosaurs made out of flowers, fruit, tall ships, and other stuff. Basically he is creating fine art mashups. If you want prints to hang on your wall, you can reach out to Chris on his website.

You have waited your entire life to see an epic battle like this. 20 T-Rexes against 10,000 chickens. Yes, the T-Rex is a killing machine, but can the chickens use their sheer numbers to win the day? Find out today!
This is battle for the ages, courtesy of the game Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator and the guys at Lazy Game Reviews. Two species enter, one species becomes extinct.
Spoiler alert: Chickens win. Obviously. You can’t just charge into 10,000 chickens and expect not to get pecked to death. I don’t care if you brought 30 T-Rexes. You don’t mess with chickens. One day they will rule the world alongside of robots, killing us for sport and saying that things taste like “human.” Let this be a lesson to everyone as you chomp down on your KFC.
