Clients loved this designer’s work.
Turns out, he was an AIA Russian design firm passed off computer-generated work as human, and it’s a peek at things to come.
- TL I posted this like 2 posts ago mate, it's old news, like 2 months ago, fastcompany is never fast with the news lolgrafician
- AI design looks very colourful, warped, distorted and wonky.shapesalad

Xi Jinping is using artificial intelligence to enhance his government’s totalitarian control—and he’s exporting this technology to regimes around the globe
"China’s ascent to AI supremacy is a menacing prospect: The country’s political structure encourages, rather than restrains, this technology’s worst uses."

Here we go...
"MOSCOW, June 26, 2020, 00:00
A Russian design studio has developed an AI designer and, for over a year, have been passing it off as a human. To date, the network has been used successfully in over 20 of the studio’s commercial projects.
Art. Lebedev Studio has come up with an AI genuinely capable of handling complex creative tasks, such as generating completely original logos and creating brand identities based on them.
The project was developed in complete secrecy by an isolated team at the Studio. In the name of conspiracy, the AI was introduced as a remote employee with his own profile, portfolio, and name — Nikolay Ironov. This meant the team could manage any risk of leaks, while also gathering valuable feedback from clients on Nikolay Ironov’s work — free from any prejudice against generative design.
The results exceeded all expectations. Over the last 12 months, Ironov has developed logos for real clients (cafes, bars, influencers, apps and consumer goods)."

And "his" "portfolio" https://www.artlebedev.ru/nikola…
- AHAHAHAHAsted
- i was thining 'Art.Lebedev?' Smells like bullshit then.
Then I saw the work, hahaNairn - For comparison, see some pretty original and good design in this portfolio: https://www.kevinhoe…grafician
- To my eye his portfolio looks done by a human. Art.Leb are able to get away with that shit because of their name, and I assume - human-made mockupsNairn
- Some of the end product actually looks pretty good - but the most stuff does when rendered out of 6" cut and bent perspex..Nairn
- Yeah they're good with mockups.grafician
- Isnt that the same studio that put little tiny screens on the top of keyboard keys?cannonball1978
- That's the one. They did do it in the end, but a long time after and not anywehre near as well as first suggested. And ridiculously expensive.Nairn
- I imagine that tech's a lot more doable now. I'd not be too surprised if Apple tried it out sometime. Perhaps even just a B&W eInk layer.Nairn
- https://www.kevinhoe… this looks dope depending on the manufacturing quality i would buy itsted
- @cannonball1978 yeah and some other nice things lol :D
@Nairn it's an experiment.sted - still better than wolff olins_niko
- Looks like clip art flavoured by a few of those daft design-trends YT vids.MrT

Do we event want AI?
- even*pseud
- Depends upon what you mean by AI. We should be wary about AGI, but that's a LONG way off. Most of what we have today is ML, which is a super useful toolNairn
- It's just fancy statistics, really.
Mind you, human consciousness is probably 'just' super fancy statisticsNairn - Do we even want humans, is what we should be asking after recent eventsyuekit
- Ha nice onepseud
- @Nairn yeah I can see you mean. Do we even want ML to develop? This automation that it leads to, the implications of it seem more complex than we understand?pseud

Does anyone have advice on building deep learning machines? I have a question about GPUs...
I'm putting shopping list together to build a box—and I'm a mac guy so this is my first build.
In fact I actually don't really know much about python either so I'm just learning as well...
I'm interested in the computer vision aspects of AI, OpenCV, Pytorch, etc.
So for my expected tasks, video frame generating capability for interpolation will require power and I've been reading up on NVIDIA GPUs, but a friend recco'd EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB,
Is there any difference in the brands or is one better than the other??
I'd like to drop it in a Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX. so any thoughts, suggestions, quips would be appreciated...
- Might have more luck finding info/asking this in the AI/deep learning subreddits?grafician
- But sure, here you go https://hackernoon.c…grafician

- All his stuff is good: https://timdettmers.…grafician
- BUT ffsake robo don't use this rig for generating deep fakes lolgrafician
- lol, mostly intrigued by image AI sharpening, coloring, interpolation, animation, restoration. Thanks I appreciate.robotron3k

Good chorus...
- microkorg-1
- She's definitely NOT an AI. It's face and body tracking someone and greating this 'avatar'. Actually think it's a male it's tracking.microkorg
- It's something in the rhythm and phrasing in the voice that sounds like a male talking - that's being pitchshifted and EQ'd to sound female.microkorg

ML not AI..

Any QBNrs here who work in/with AI?
- I coded a "deep belief net" in 2008-2009 from G Hintons paper. I wanted to predict horse racing results. To train the model I needed datadrgs
- I tried to webscrape a horse racing website, but it turned out to be more complicated than the deep belief net, I gave up and forgot about itdrgs
- Sounds cool!Krassy
- But yeah, I was interested in hearing from someone with hands-on experience what the difference between straight up programming and AI actually practically is.Krassy
- @drgs - Friend of mine did the same thing (he was a programmer working at the stock exchange). He had it going for a while but too much work to maintainGnash
- it was making money for a whileGnash
- These days there are multiple frameworks, so not much coding, but you need to understand the different types of models, where to apply which etcdrgs
- And how to out them together. You need to account for what type of inputs you have, is it a vision problem, plain numbers, text etc, how deep/how man layers etcdrgs
- Complex stuff, no doubt...... but just wondering at what point it becomes AI and not just a complex program of if/then/else logicKrassy
- If you understand the decision tree and you can program it with if/then/else logic, then it's not really complex compared to problems where true AI is useddrgs
- AI is a black box, which gives no explanation and no guarantee that the answer is correct. It just arrives at some solution by itself after you dumpdrgs
- GBs of data on it. The "solution", or approximation what it really is, is spread across millions of parameters which are stored in those deep learning layersdrgs
- still sounds like a complex program of rules and logic that yes, allow to arrive at various destinations.Krassy
- So the millions of parameters thrown at it make it AI?Krassy
- tnx for explaining, BTW.Krassy
- Not challenging what you're saying; just still need more clarity (and no, I don't expect to get such clarity in the notes of a QBN post. Ha!)Krassy
- So basically, the main advantage is that AI can find hidden patterns in data, or sort of approximate a pattern, which otherwise are impossible to programdrgs
- But the culprit is that you need a lot of data, which records every possible side of the problem you are trying to solvedrgs
- got it! tnx drgsKrassy
