Google's DeepDream

Google's DeepDream is a computer vision program that uses a type of artificial intelligence called neural networks to enhance patterns in images. Originally designed for image recognition, it was modified to create dream-like visuals. By amplifying features it recognizes, the program transforms ordinary photos into surreal, often psychedelic artwork, where familiar shapes morph into intricate designs. The process involves running images through multiple layers of the neural network, creating kaleidoscopic effects and bizarre, imaginative interpretations. DeepDream demonstrates both the creative potential and the quirky limitations of AI in understanding and processing visual information.
