DeepFaceDrawing Generates Photorealistic Portraits from Freehand Sketches
Wow, this is cooked.<p>In a few years, deep learning is going to make any sort of development of real skill feel as archaic as assembler. Learn guitar? What's the point. The little magic black box soon-to-be-smaller-than-your-smartphone can make just about any song based on minimal inputs (i.e. a beat-boxed backing track). You'll be able to generate unique and stylized paintings of your relatives and pets in seconds. Probably you'll be able to generate printable 3D objects from descriptions. Engineers will be able to sketch parts from one perspective and have the details automatically fleshed-out from best-practices learned across millions of similar parts.<p>You'll never get away with an illegal U-turn ever again because the city will pull footage from peoples' internet-of-crap dashcams and the machine learning algorithms will comb the feeds and send fines directly to your mailbox with basically no human intervention.
