A new experiment from Google is turning imagery from the company's Street View service into impressive digital photographs using nothing but artificial intelligence (AI). Google is using machine learning algorithms to train a deep neural network to roam around places such as Canada's and California's national parks, look for potentially suitable landscape images, and then work on them with special post-processing techniques. The idea is to "mimic the workflow of a professional photographer," and to do so Google is relying on so-called generative adversarial networks (GAN), which essentially pit two neural networks against one another.

It means Google is taking all of its street view imagery, which also includes visual data captured by people hiking around parks and such with one of those cameras on a backpack, and letting computer programs find pretty pictures in all of that data.

I'm not sure what this all means, but I know how it ends.

You know those west coast progressives are going to turn it into a penis, get called sexist by east coast liberals, and turn it back into a vagina.

So we no longer need those photographers who make shite hotels look like nice hotels. Google's AI will do it for them?

It means they taught AI to crop photos using the rule of thirds.
