The Night Watch: The Missing Pieces
This is a cool project. The part that I am not so sure about is why don't they just use an artist to paint the missing part? What is the advantage of using an AI?<p>My guess, even that I hope not, is that people thinks that AI is going to be more impartial, more accurate, less biased. The reality is that an AI, as used in this example, is going to be over-fitting.<p>An artist can understand Lunden and Rembrant art and use that knowledge to produce something closer to the intention of the artist and the copy.<p>Cool project, but a dangerous precedent if people thinks that AI provides unbiased reality, that using AI you can show "how it really looked" as something more accurate that any human con achieve. Constructing something from missing data is always guesswork, whenever the intelligence is natural or artificial.
