Як нейромережі бачать вільну та незалежну Україну? Тест dev.ua
Нейронні мережі для генерації зображень бачать світ по-своєму, їхню логіку зрозуміти часом зовсім неможливо. Але таки хочеться. На честь Дня Незалежності України редакція dev.ua вирішила провести невеликий експеримент.
Ми задали чотирьом різним нейронним мережам п’ять однакових запитів: «прапор України», «День Незалежності України», «український Крим», «перемога України» та «українці». Отриманими результатами ми ділимося з вами нижче.
У TikTok тепер можна генерувати фон за допомогою нейромережі. Ми протестували її та ділимося результатами
У TikTok з’явилася нова функція «Розумний фон». З її допомогою як фон для тіктоків можна підставляти згенеровані нейромережею зображення. Редакція dev.ua протестувала цю технологію і ділиться своїми враженнями.
