> Notice how the transferred images have none of the power of the originals. They're not meant to. This is the development of base, mechanical technique, not of composition and theory. Lots of artists paint fairly mediocre pieces when developing technique and very often copy other works of art in the process. > I don't believe that neural networks will ever be artists because they work on copying existing patterns. Until there is an element of randomness fueled by context, they aren't creating anything new. That's where genius lies. What you ask for is actually a fairly simple architecture, it's just presently computationally intractable. So we're seeing if we can optimize the approaches to run on modern(ish) hardware.
