Week 4

Project 1

List from shared notes with Erin:

1. Generate sentence descriptions of images

   • See how we can stretch the functionality of this model. What if we print a photo and hold it up to the camera? How detailed of a drawing do we have to make before it detects what we’re drawing. Putting clothes on a chair to see if the model will detect it as a person. 

2. Data moshing (apps like MoshUp)

   • Distorting reality using AI, messing with physical laws that our brains rely on. It feels eerie when it transitions to something else, and then you feel comfortable again when the next image shows up, until it changes again.

   • Example here

3. Can people tell what’s real and fake? (poem generators, thisfacedoesnotexist.com, pizza generator, landscape generator)

• Showing people something made by AI (like a poem) and ask for their interpretation, reveal it was AI after. 

• Showing a picture of generated person and asking questions 

• Have to be careful when asking because we don’t want to prime people or give it away- “do you see something wrong with this” vs. asking “Tell me what you think this person’s story is.”
