This, that you see right here, is an artwork I produced using AI. First creating a person that doesn’t exist at all, with a GAN model (check https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/ to get one yourself!). Then, creating the painting artwork by using a styling model.

您在这里看到的这是我使用AI制作的艺术品。 首先使用GAN模型创建一个根本不存在的人(请查看https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/以获得一个自己的角色！)。 然后，使用样式模型创建绘画作品。

Recently, I got the unluck of running into an artwork that reminds me of the famous “Banana on the wall” piece. Only that this time, it was eluding animal abuse, actually using the hashtag for it.

最近，我碰巧遇到了一件艺术品，使我想起了著名的“墙上的香蕉”作品。 只是这次，它才是对动物的虐待，而实际上是在使用标签。

The reason I came across that image was that recently I been reminded about the huge problem in social platforms related to abusive and violent content. Especially towards animals, who sadly don’t have the same rights in all countries. Like for example, Hungary, Finland, Romania, and even some states of the United States. I consider leaving that topic about animal rights and social media, for another time.

我遇到该图像的原因是，最近我被提醒有关社交平台中与滥用和暴力内容有关的巨大问题。 特别是对于动物，可悲的是，在所有国家/地区，动物都没有同样的权利。 例如，匈牙利，芬兰，罗马尼亚，甚至美国的某些州。 我考虑再讨论一次有关动物权利和社交媒体的话题。

When I saw that image I was outraged, I only thought about the millions of animals that are oppressed by our society in the dairy industry, meat industry, leisure industry with bullfights, and now in the art field.

当我看到那幅图像时，我很生气，我只想到了奶业，肉类行业，休闲斗牛行业以及当今艺术界受到我们社会压迫的数以百万计的动物。

I called out the situation, speaking my mind and opinion in a, maybe for some, exaggerated way. One of the responses I got, from one of the artist’s friend, was that I didn’t understand art, and if I considered this not to be art is because I don’t have a brain. The rest of the “arguing” in the responses was mainly about how I look, and other of my physical characteristics. They wouldn't reply whether or not they are supporting/promoting animal abuse through this type of “art”. But instead, every time I asked about it, this person only changed the topic back to my looks and content, complaining that what I do and this field is useless and no one sees value from it.

我大声疾呼，以某种夸张的方式表达了我的想法和见解。 我从一位艺术家的朋友那里得到的回应之一是我不了解艺术，如果我认为这不是艺术，那是因为我没有大脑。 回复中其余的“争论”主要是关于我的外表和其他身体特征。 他们不会通过这种“艺术”来回答是否支持/促进对动物的虐待。 但是，相反，每次我问这个问题时，此人只会将主题改回我的外观和内容，抱怨我所做的事情，而这个领域毫无用处，没有人看到它的价值。

I thought about it, while I was doing endless homework for university and work. And I thought how different some people can see automation, technology, and their inevitable influence in the future.

当我为大学和工作做无休止的作业时，我考虑了一下。 我认为有些人对自动化，技术及其未来不可避免的影响会有不同的看法。

Perhaps some people thought that algorithms could never be better than them as artists, as painters, sculptors, or scriptwriters. And perhaps they are right.

也许有人认为算法永远不会比作为艺术家，画家，雕塑家或脚本作者的算法更好。 也许他们是对的。

Or maybe one day AI will be able to recreate a "Banana on the wall", and understand art without the need of having a human brain.

也许有一天，人工智能将能够重新创建“墙上的香蕉”，并且不需要人脑就能理解艺术。

What I can be sure about, is that there is still a long long way for tech to continue surprising us in all the professional and non-professional fields known by men, today.

我可以肯定的是，在当今男性已知的所有专业和非专业领域中，技术仍然有很长的路要走。

AI艺术品售价432,500美元 (AI artwork sells for $432,500)

The portrait in its gilt frame depicts a portly gentleman, possibly French and — to judge by his dark frockcoat and plain white collar — a man of the church. The work appears unfinished: the facial features are somewhat indistinct and there are blank areas of the canvas. Oddly, the whole composition is displaced slightly to the north-west. A label on the wall states that a sitter is a man named Edmond Belamy, but the giveaway clue as to the origins of the work is the artist’s signature at the bottom right. In cursive Gallic script it reads:

镀金框架中的肖像描绘了一位绅士，可能是法国人，并且-由他的深色上衣和纯白的衣领判断-教堂里的一个人。 作品似乎未完成：面部特征有些模糊，并且画布上有空白区域。 奇怪的是，整个构图稍微向西北移动。 墙上的一个标签上说一个保姆是一个名叫埃德蒙德·贝拉米的人，但有关作品起源的赠与线索是艺术家在右下角的签名。 在草书的高卢脚本中，其内容为：

This portrait is not the product of the human mind. It was created by an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the hammer in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23–25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an incredible $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.

这幅肖像不是人类思想的产物。 它是由该代数公式定义的带有许多括号的算法创建的。 当它在10月23日至25日在佳士得拍卖行举办的Prints＆Multiples拍卖会上落下帷幕时，Edmond Belamy的肖像以令人难以置信的432,500美元成交，标志着AI艺术进入了世界拍卖舞台。

The team collected a set of 15,000 portraits from the online art encyclopedia WikiArt, spanning the 14th to the 19th century, and fed them into the GAN algorithm. GAN algorithms have two parts: the generator and the discriminator. The generator learned the ‘rules’ of the portraits, “for example, everything has two eyes and a nose,” Caselles-Dupré says, describing a process that takes about two days. Then it starts to create new images based on those rules. Meanwhile, the discriminator’s job is to review the images and guess which are ‘real’ ones from the dataset and which are ‘fake ones’ from the generator.

该团队从在线艺术百科全书WikiArt中收集了15,000张肖像，这些肖像跨越14至19世纪，并将其输入GAN算法。 GAN算法有两个部分：生成器和鉴别器。 生成者学会了肖像的“规则”，“例如，所有事物都有两只眼睛和鼻子，”Caselleles-Dupré说，描述了大约两天的过程。 然后，它开始根据这些规则创建新图像。 同时，鉴别者的工作是查看图像并猜测来自数据集的“真实”图像和来自生成器的“虚假”图像。

It’s hard for us to naturally think that AI can be our ally, instead of our enemy. But that’s why we all should take part in this new, modern revolution.

我们很难自然地认为AI可以成为我们的盟友，而不是我们的敌人。 但这就是为什么我们大家都应该参加这场新的现代革命。
