"Decomposition" of the face
An interesting demonstration of the decay of an artificially generated face with the "neuron decay" of a neural network.
Using artificial intelligence to create "photographs" of faces that are practically impossible to distinguish from real ones is nothing new, and we have already written about this on our portal several times. The authors of the website AI Told me, within the project called What I saw before the darkness, approached the matter a little differently. Since we know that faces (and not only faces, but also other "products" of artificial intelligence) are created with the help of neural networks, the authors asked what would happen if the neurons in such a network started to disintegrate or otherwise stopped working.
But they didn't just stay with the question, they also found, or rather created, the answer. First, they created an image with the help of a neural network, and then began to "turn off" individual parts, the "neurons", of this network. And the result is quite a bit creepy and wouldn't be ashamed of any psychedelic horror films from the 1960s and 1970s.
