AI painted portraits were successfully auctioned for $ 432,500

Have you ever wondered how much an art piece created by artificial intelligence will sell for?The figure turned out to be not small at all.The Christies auction house has just sold an AI-painted picture for more than what they think.Thinking that only selling between $ 7,000 and $ 10,000, the final picture left for $ 432,500.

An anonymous buyer paid nearly half a million dollars for the Edmond de Belamy painting, the work of three friends from Paris - including a student who studied AI - called the name Obvious.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this painting, not just about how it will affect the art world in general.Obvious used the 19-year-old Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) network of 19-year-old Robbie Barrat (you can download it for free on GitHub) and teach it the 15,000 portraits drawn around the mid-14th century. and 20. It will then draw itself.

Obvious said they used Barret's product but the code was changed.The group also thanked Ian Goodfellow, the father of the GAN algorithm.'Am I crazy to think that they use my artificial network and sell money?', Barret posted on Twitter.

According to the BBC, the algorithm compares its product to the data it has until it cannot be distinguished.Tell the Motherboard, Mark Riedl, associate professor of AI and machine learning at the Georgia Institute of Technology, 'The algorithm is not the only thing that can be used to create this artwork, GAN has no free will. .

'These are very complex strokes with many mathematical parameters and you can use them to achieve the hard to achieve effect'.At the bottom of the drawing is the algorithm record that created it 'min G max D x [log (D (x))] + z [log (1 - D (G (z)))].'
