What are the creative activities that the evolving artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrated creative in 2016

It can be said that in 2016 it was a year that I heard more news on artificial intelligence (AI) that showed sharp progress than ever before. A lot of creative works by AI who have demonstrated creative in various fields through learning are summarized in New Atlas (formerly Gizmag) of the Internet media.

2016: The year AI got creative

◆ 01: script of a comedy program by AI
Andy Hart, who is also a software developer and a comic author, thought that "What if AI thinks about a new episode of TV drama" Friends "," thinking, "Google's machine learning software library"TensorFlow"I have learned all the scripts of the same series for nine seasons. The following script (script) was created as a result. The content is as follows, "Chandler of the characters made the words spoken unknown, and Monica repeatedly screamed," It was very chicken starch ".


◆ 02: Film trailer by AI
IBM's artificial intelligence "WatsonIt was also in 2016 that the project to make a trailer of the thriller movie "Morgan" was executed. IBM engineers have Watson load 1000 trailers of the movie and let the trailer learn how to edit the trailer.

As a result, a movie including a trailer of "Morgan" automatically generated by Watson is this. Although it is edited well so as to make it feel like that, it seems to say that the human being is a bit better one still, such as "feeling elongation" feeling somewhat and how to use the scene which can not measure meaning.

◆ 03: Horror movie by AI
In August, a project to produce horror movies using AI was conducted using cloud funding. AI horror movie "Impossible Things" has thousands of horror films in AIAssociate with the performance of box office revenueIt is a work that was created as a more "receiving" horror movie by learning while doing it. After AI who finished learning had generated a story background and rough synopsis, the human scriptwriter finished it into a neat script and the actual movie was filmed.

A trailer of a horror film "Impossible Things" shot in that way is the following movie. There seems to be a view that the contents are "a gathering of scenes that tend to be in horror movies", but it has been successful as a cloud funding, including the decision to make two movies in Hollywood. The shooting was done in 2017 and it is expected to be released within the year.


◆ 04: Short film by AI
Movie writer Oscar Sharp and AI researcher Ross Goodwin said that movies such as "Ghost Busters" and "Blade Runner" and TV dramas such as "X File" I let him learn SF work through and created a short film script to AI.

Based on the script, the work "Sunspring" below was taken as faithfully as possible. The point that is becoming incoherent as the story goes into the second half may be a part that can be said as "to grow" of future development.

◆ 05: Pop song composed by AI
Although movie work is creative activity of AI that room for improvement is recognized, it seems that it is starting to produce good results in the music world. The pop song composed by Sony CSL Research Laboratory ("Lab") using AI "Flow Machines" is finished in a pleasant fine song. In the laboratory, we learned 13,000 songs, and we made AI to compose it simply by giving the directive "Beatles tune".

And the next song "Daddy's Car" was born. Actually, Flow Machines is in charge of melody and harmony, the whole arrangement and lyrics are not "complete AI" because French musician Benoît Carré was in charge, but overlapping multiple chorus and modulation Chord progression, reverse rotation sound etc. including certainly can feel the situation that the Beatles' pop feeling and experimentality are compatible. It is quite comfortable and it is not an exaggeration to say that most people who can not make up songs up to this point even at human musicians.

Also, at Google, a project aimed at "developing algorithms that learn how to make art and music"Magenta"Has been launched. So I composed the following piano songs. The drums coming in from the middle are arranged by humans, but all the melodies are composed by AI. With a sense of cleanliness and chord progression, it seems to be said that it is a comfortable "music" to the ear.

◆ 06: Christmas Carol sang by AI composed
The above two songs were a work with a bit of human hands, but at Toronto College in Canada AI tried composing and singing by one person (?). In the experiment, we first let AI to learn Christmas carol, we read the following pictures, and we are composing a new Christmas carol based on that content.


Then it was the next song that was composed and played. Although it is unlikely that Christmas likeness can be felt in some places of chord progression, this seems to be only saying "Christmas carol" many people imagine is nothing. In some places, there are parts which are considerably avant-garde development, and a unique world view is crowded in conjunction with singing by computer's synthesized speech.

The content of the lyrics is "Lots of decorations in the room, Christmas trees are overflowing with flowers, surely this is Christmas Eve. I hope you say so," The best Christmas presents are blessings. "You I am pleased to see the music from the hall. Fairy tales, Christmas tree, lots of flowers. Details can also be read in the following articles.

◆ 07: AI wrote a novel
In Japan, a project to let AI write a short story is in progress. Project team focused on Professor Hitoshi Matsubara of Future University of Hakodate "It is a capricious artificial intelligence project writer"Is to analyze all the short short works of short story novelist Shinichi Hoshi and let AI write a similar short short.

Short short "AI actually wrote"The day the computer writes novels"This work has been published, how the Nikkei Newspaper organized"Shinichi AwardIt is said that he passed the primary examination of. A passage of Otis is what makes Shinichiichi world feel.

◆ 08: Art work drawn by AI
GoogleCreate something like a nightmareWe also held an auction of only 29 paintings drawn with artificial intelligence "DeepDream" which is also said to be. Then, the total amount of sales reached as much as 97,000 dollars (about 11.5 million yen), and the maximum amount of single item was about 8,000 dollars (about 950,000 yen). Although it can not be said that there is no part whose rarity has yet been evaluated, it seems that AI can also be seen as a rare example showing that art can be done.


◆ 09: Poem wrote by AI
Mr. Carmel · Allison combines his two abilities of being "poet" and "software engineer" to create a website "CuratedAI"Was launched. At the site, works of poetry by machine learning using a neural network are announced. The AI ​​named "Deep Gimble" can fight the poem in one minute based on the vocabulary of 190,000 words. The contents of the poem "Chaos Everywhere (chaos here and there)" is as follows.

Chaos everywhere
Away he sees some long soul
No in air
Out no or where
As yet or clear when time
Seems back when time
It with sweet tears
His bosom through high waves
Came near into fire
Over like no word all
Their hopes can fade together

Also, we are developing an AI that creates poetry by connecting the first and last phrases of poetry. Its contents are quite talked about "Kimoi".

◆ 10: AI edits a magazine
A lot of photos are uploaded and selling can also be done "EyeEm, We have developed an algorithm that allows AI to evaluate the artistic nature of the photograph and tried to score it with 100 full marks.

After that, the team decided to leave curation of all the pictures that humans had done until then to AI. Then, it led to the discovery of young talent from London which human beings had not found before. Mr. Paul Aguir-Livingstone of Associate Creative Director of EyeEm said, "It's a very discreet way of expressing" I found a hidden gem "about this photographer," AI told the photographer I talk about the magnitude of the excavated shock.
