Here's yet another interesting development that blurs the line between humans and computers. As we've seen in previous installments of Rise of the machines, computers powered by AI can now do any number of cool things, but mostly things that you would naturally associate with AI's, such as playing chess or driving.
There's much more that's possible though. It's pretty likely that one day not too far from now AI's will be singing (literally) 'anything you can do, I can do better'. Today's example of this sees a computer painting like an old master.
A group of art historians, scientists, engineers and data analysts got together to analyze Rembrandt's entire body of work using deep learning algorithms. Using this data, they were able to extract all the features of the painting that makes a Rembrandt a Rembrandt, and get the computer to then create its own version in 3D (including the height map associated with real layered paintings).
A 3D printer was then used to print The Next Rembrandt, 347 years after his death.
We're no art experts, but it looks pretty authentic to us!
