What Happens When You Put 'Fear In Loathing In Las Vegas' Through Google's 'Deep Dream' Programme

Sweet mother of acid trip god!

Don't know what Google's 'Deep Dream' programme is, reddit has a simple explanation here:

"...google has image recognition software that is used to determine what is in an image.

the image recognition software has thousands of reference images of known things, which it compares to an image it is trying to recognise.

So if you provide it with the image of a dog and tell it to recognise the image, it will compare the image to it's references, find out that there are similarities in the image to images of dogs, and it will tell you "there's a dog in that image!"

But what if you use that software to make a program that looks for dogs in images, and then you give it an image with no dog in and tell it that there is a dog in the image?

The program will find whatever looks closest to a dog, and since it has been told there must be a dog in there somewhere, it tells you that is the dog.

Now what if you take that program, and change it so that when it finds a dog-like feature, it changes the dog-like image to be even more dog-like? Then what happens if you feed the output image back in?

What happens is the program will find the features that looks even the tiniest bit dog-like and it will make them more and more doglike, making doglike faces everywhere."
