Google’s latest AI art project turns your face into a ‘poem portrait’ - James Vincent, the Verge

Google is always sponsoring weird and inventive projects with the help of artificial intelligence, and its latest is characteristically odd. Named PoemPortraits, the web app takes a word of your suggestion and combines it with a selfie to create the eponymous poem portrait. Basically, it’s an Instagram filter paired with a few lines of AI-generated poetry. It’s fun and strange and worth a few minutes of your time to mess around with. I created the image above using the word “malfeasance” and a picture of Keanu Reeves (because looking at his face is undoubtedly preferable to looking at mine). https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/2/18526783/google-ai-art-project-poem-portrait-es-devlin-ross-goodwin
