A bathroom with a toilet and a sink
In addition to AIs that synthesize images from text, there are AIs that can generate text. In this experiment, two AIs initiate a machine dialog. An image generated by a first AI is converted back into text by a second one and can thus be translated back into a new image. The result is an AI feedback loop that converges and points out the hidden machineculture that persists through data and training, with “a bathroom with a toilet and a sink” being a frequent concept these loops converge on.
