I am astonished by this because I don't get how it can paint based on an algorithm and get everything so right. How does this even work? How it know metal is me

  At a guess, it's looking at texture and shape. There's a lot of information in texture. Stuff that looks like skin gets pink or sepia Stuff that looks like grass gets green Stuff that looks like sky gets blue Stuff that looks like fabric gets red or blue Stuff it's not sure about gets sepia Very cool to see it done automatically. It's about the level of a mediocre human colorizer which isn't bad for an algorithm...

    Could you refer me where I could learn these analyzing algorithms? And where to code bots overall. I have some pretty cool ideas and the internet is an infinite playground to throw bots in, lay back and get you results.
