If you've always wondered what's going on in neurons in neural networks, then Google will finally be able to explain it to you. The company has released a selection of experimental services that show what modern artificial intelligence is capable of.
The most interesting of them is Quick, Draw! — offers to play a kind of "Crocodile". Your task is to have time to draw a given object in 20 seconds, for example, a carrot, a bicycle, a ball, a face, and so on. During the same time, the program should recognize exactly what you tried to portray. While you are displaying clumsy lines with the cursor, the neural network throws up options until it recognizes the correct one.
At the same time, as befits a neural network, it learns based on the drawings of other users. And the more drawings the AI sees, the faster it gets to find the right answer. For example, in these scribbles, the neural network recognized a crocodile in a few seconds. Would you be able to?
Another funny service is called Giorgio Cam. He is able to identify objects that he sees in the camera. Here the results are not so impressive, and often the AI is wrong. However, the lack of accuracy is compensated by the feed. The process of determining the subject is accompanied by fervent electronic music, and the neural network rhythmically puts the answer options on the beat. It all looks pretty creepy, but fascinating.
In general, AI is still quite primitive and, obviously, is not able to come up with an effective plan to capture humanity. But that's for now.
