Artificial intelligence has the potential to do some amazing and frightening things. On the more “amazing” end of the spectrum is new experimental software from Nvidia called GauGAN. The software is essentially a magical version of Microsoft Paint. The way it works is a human user draws a rudimentary sketch of a scene, such as mountains in the distance with a lake and a field in the foreground. These three elements would only be drawn incredibly simplistically in the program–basically as flat fields of color.
