Hey there! Read anything interesting lately, I sure did! I read about a 19 year that developed a code for an AI to design portraits! Crazy to think someone so young could do that. 
gpt
That is crazy!  Do you know how the 19 year old did it?
human
*eyes widen* I'm not sure how exactly he did it, I guess if I did I'd make one as well! But I know he was only 17 and bored when he did it, he started off by feeding it rap lyrics so it could generate random rap songs. And than he fed it random portraits from the internet to teach it how to make art! 
gpt
That is really impressive!  So, did he get a job or a college invite for his talent/success?
human
He sure did!  He's now working at the Stanford University AI Lab. He didn't seem to think anyone would pay much attention to his portraits, so much as sell something based on his work! 
gpt
*relaxed posture* I'm glad to hear that!  So, how did the program work?  What does the artwork look like?
human
The man in the portrait has no noise, people even say it can look like frosty the snowman! Mario Klingemann says it can't believe how much the portrait sold for, he thought it was terribly done even for an AI. And he would know being an AI Artist!
gpt
I guess people bought it because of how it is done.  How much did it sell for anyway?
human
A French Art collective known as Obvious downloaded the code, and their AI portrait sold for 432,500! The auction house didn't seem to think it would go for so high!
gpt
*hands at sides* That is amazing!  Is it possible to tell if a human painted it or a computer?
human
*eyes brighten* It depends on the program! Programs usually are put through rigorous trials, to make sure the art is convincing and that it looks like it was human-made. It's only a matter of time before it becomes so good and well-trained no one can really tell. 
gpt
I wonder what that will do to the art industry not to mention museums. I mean if a computer can fake the mona lisa so well that no one can tell then what happens?  You know, computer innovations are moving so fast.  The russians made one that runs on water if you can believe that.
human
That's crazy, it's almost scary to think about the future and what it will hold for us as humans. Not everyone feels that way though, some people call themselves "Transhumanists" and they want to upload their minds into computers one day! 
gpt
I've heard about them!  They remind me of an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation where a man did that. I wonder if they want to live forever.
human
Probably, I can't blame them for wanting their minds in a computer. Nothing on a computer is gone forever it seems! There is a library called Alexandria that has saved an entire copy of the internet!
gpt
In a way that can be a good thing.  Important information will never be lost.  It can even be uploaded from the tallest mountain peak in the world- mt everest.  There's internet on that peak.
human
That's amazing, but let's not forget who the King of the Internet is. Google went down for just five minutes one day, and 40% of web traffic vanished with it!
gpt
Hahaha!  Google is definitely the king of the internet!  Did you know that doing a single google search uses more computing power than sending neil armstrong to the moon?
human
*raises eyebrows* Google is nuts! I heard they once a hundred live goats instead of people to mow the lawns of their headquarters! 
gpt
I heard that too. I guess they were trying to help the planet.  I was a little disappointed to learn though that they calculate traffic by seeing how fast android phones are moving on a road. I thought there was a satellite in space giving them information.
human
It was probably mentioned somewhere in their novel of terms and service! Did you know only 7% of people read those? I'm surprised it's even that high!
gpt
I am too. I have to admit that I very very rarely ever read them and if I do, it's not in the whole thing.    You know with Google being so dominant in our lives it's hard to believe two college students started it.
