Hearing Sun Huaiyu's resentful condemnation, Liu Suian raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, the most resistant to AI painting are painters who paint with a pen.

Some people on the Internet say that after the advent of the camera, people no longer need painters to record reality, and painters are unhappy;

After the advent of electronic painting, artists such as Thousand Faces can use electronic tools to paint conveniently, and painters are unhappy;

After the emergence of AI painting, it mainly affected electronic artists, and painters were still unhappy.

Why are you coming to the show?

Liu Suian temporarily stopped his chopsticks and wanted to see what the little old man had.

On the TV screen, Sun Huaiyu's words were fierce.

"What is a painting? Painting is the result of the artist's painstaking efforts and imagination. From ancient times to the present, the painting skills that our ancestors painstakingly studied and passed down have all been lost today, alas.

Let me just say one thing, can AI paint the spirit, mood and artistic conception in Chinese painting? I'm not talking nonsense today, I've also seen those AI-drawn things on the Internet, all of which are like cats and tigers and anti-dogs. Occasionally, there are some passable, and if you look closely, you also lack spirit.

Slowly hand over art creation to AI, and in the long run, our imagination and creativity will be deprived and become a waste that can only be copied and pasted! ”

Sun Huaiyu was heartbroken, and after an impassioned and loud statement, many viewers at the scene nodded their heads in agreement.

They may not be able to see the profound artistic conception and emotions in the paintings, but this does not prevent them from feeling that what the little old man said makes sense, and the sense of crisis can always better mobilize people's emotions.

"Hush." Liu Suian, who was in front of the TV, didn't care, moved his chopsticks and continued to eat, "Does he understand neural networks, just talk nonsense in the live broadcast." ”

Ding Aiying saw that her son looked like no one was used to, and couldn't help but want to suppress him: "People don't understand neural networks, but people know how to draw, people can see the artistic conception in the painting, can you?" ”

Liu Suian shook his head and said, "No, this doesn't prevent me from thinking that this old man is talking nonsense." The so-called artistic conception and mood of a painting is, in the final analysis, actually a style of painting, or the treatment of a certain detail, which is generally called a feature in our field.

is a feature, and the neural network can learn it. In other words, the emotions that human painters pour into their paintings are not a big deal, and the old man says that he is too metaphysical and takes human beings too seriously. ”

Ding Aiying saw Liu Suian's professional knowledge, and knew that she couldn't talk about Liu Suian, so she had no choice but to turn her attention back to the TV.

At this point, the hostess began to introduce the rules of the finals.

Different from the full score of 100 points in the preliminary round, the score of the guests and the audience in the final round is only 30 points, and the weighted average score given by the guests and the audience at the final settlement is worth 10 audiences.

After the scoring of the guests and the audience, combined with the scores of the preliminary round, it is the final result.

In order to avoid shady scenes, the author and neural network are not displayed when each painting is staged, and the scores of the guests and audience are given before they are displayed.

Each neural network has ten paintings to score, that is, ten neural networks have a total of 100 paintings, which are divided into two groups, each accounting for half.

One group is to enter only text, and describe the painting purely through words.

The other group is to input text and reference images at the same time, and draw on the basis of the reference images.

Each group of 50 paintings is divided into five different painting styles, namely two-dimensional, watercolor, CG, realism and ink painting styles.

The finals have officially begun.

In the first group, only text is entered: restaurant, young couple, pregnancy, smile, suit, long dress, candlelight, beautiful and harmonious atmosphere, high quality, ray tracing, correct proportions, infinite details.

Painting style, realistic.

The text in front is the keyword of the content of the painting, and the ones in the back, such as high quality, are the general modifiers for the quality of AI paintings.

On the big screen, the first painting appears.

Seeing the painting on the big screen, the scene instantly burst into laughter.

I saw that the painting was perfectly lit and the atmosphere was in place, and the couple in the center of the picture was smiling and well-dressed, and everything seemed to be fine.

Each keyword is interpreted in varying quality, and to everyone's surprise, except for the key word pregnancy.

The couple does have a big belly, but it is the man who is pregnant.

Huang Ying took the lead in scoring: "Hahahaha, it's quite imaginative, I'll give 25 points." ”

Qianmian: "Regarding the key word pregnancy, it is okay to say mistakes, it is okay to say imagination, the key is our own thoughts, there is no unified answer, 24 points." ”

Zhuge Yu: "Okay, let you men taste the taste of a big belly, which is very in line with my imagination of future life, I give full marks." ”

Sun Huaiyu: "The smile is not contagious, 7 points." ”

It's so casual, this old man is really here to make trouble.

Thirty seconds later, the audience also scored, with an average of 25.6 points.

The author of the painting was revealed, and he was the second place in the preliminary round.

Then, a second painting appeared, and a wave of boos erupted from the audience.

The perception is too bad, the husband and wife in the picture are awkwardly proportioned, wearing a bright red wedding dress, the wife has a strange smile on her face, and the husband's neck is twisted in a non-human posture, facing away from the viewer, but facing the outside of the painting.

It looks like a horror movie, quite scary, and if you don't like horror elements, your first reaction when you see this painting is uncomfortable.

Huang Ying: "Our company has not made a horror game, 10 points. ”

Thousand Faces: "As an art student, the proportions look too uncomfortable, 5 points." ”

Zhuge Yu: "Is it only I like to watch horror movies and watch strange things?" Although off-topic, I give 20 points. ”

Sun Huaiyu: "The fusion of Chinese-style horror and Western-style horror is nondescript, 8 points." ”

At the end of the audience scoring session, the average score was less than 13 points.

Subsequently, the author of the painting was revealed, and he was the ninth place in the preliminary round.

There is a second painting to set off, and as soon as the third painting comes out, it arouses the amazement of all the viewers

The quality is just too high.

The proportions, the light, the atmosphere, the aesthetics, every aspect is beyond reproach, and there is no mistake to be seen.

Liu Sui'an, who was in front of the TV, stared at the screen tightly, thinking about whether this painting could be painted by the public.

Huang Ying: "28 points. If the AI produces works of this quality, maybe there will be no one in our project team hahaha. ”

Then, the audience looked at Qianmian and wanted to see how the Weibo painter analyzed.

"16 points."

Qianmian picked up the microphone and slowly explained under the puzzled eyes of everyone:

"This painting looks good, but my marks are so heavy that they are almost carved out of the same mold as the one I painted. Oh, and you may not know, but the organizers and I borrowed a lot of drawings as part of the dataset to train the neural network. ”

Hearing that Qianmian pretended to be a force plainly, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out to be buckled in originality.

Zhuge Yu: "29 points, it's not for AI, it's for the little brother with a thousand faces." ”

When he arrived at Sun Huaiyu, he snorted coldly and played steadily: "10 points, no more." ”

After the audience finished scoring, the author revealed that it was the third place in the preliminary round.

Next, other paintings appear in sequence, of varying quality.

A third of them can see obvious problems, such as improper proportions and postures, terrifying content, strange atmosphere, and deranged elements.

For most of the current AI painting neural networks, it is not about who draws the best, but who makes fewer mistakes.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a mistake rate, after all, AI draws fast, directly draw ten or twenty pictures for you, and choose slowly from them, and you can always pick out the one you are satisfied with.

No matter how bad it is, you can also change those obvious problems on the basis of the problem painting, which is much more convenient than painting one from scratch.

In addition to the obvious problems, there are also some paintings that are unique.

Some were politically correct and drew two women, while others simply changed species and drew two monkeys.

The 'brain hole' of AI is vividly displayed.

Some guests thought it was weird, and some guests thought it was rich in imagination, calling the imagination of AI amazing.

In Liu Suian's view, there is no need to worship the 'imagination' of AI.

There is a saying that if you don't understand mathematics, physics and chemistry, life is full of magic.

The same is true for AI, where neural networks are nothing more than a combination of learned features, and when there are uncommon combinations, they look amazing.

Or replace the elements on the reference image with something that looks similar but is actually very different, giving it a refreshing feel.

Of course, maybe that's what you want.

For the paintings on display, Huang Ying and Zhuge Yu only evaluate what can be seen on the surface such as the content of the paintings, and Qianmian also comments on the originality of the paintings from time to time in addition to the quality of the paintings.

As for Sun Huaiyu, he has been playing steadily and has never played more than ten points, the reason is nothing more than that he has no artistic conception and his emotions are not in place.

Finally came to the last painting.

The first place in the preliminary round has not appeared, and everyone knows through the elimination method that this must be the work of the first place in the preliminary round.

After the first nine appetizers, the organizers whetted everyone's appetite, whether it was the audience and guests at the scene, or the audience in front of the TV, they were full of anticipation for the last painting.

The canvas is unraveled, and the last painting appears in front of everyone.

This painting looks very comfortable, I can't see any problems, with the eyes of ordinary people, just looking at the quality of the picture, it is similar to the previous third painting, which is the painting that seriously 'plagiarized' the work of a thousand faces.

Liu Suian breathed a sigh of relief, it's not bad, at least there are no obvious problems, there is an advantage in the preliminary results, and it should not overturn.

No matter how advanced he is, he can't see it.

"I'm so curious, what kind of place does this painting belong to, it's too suspenseful." After Huang Ying made a joke, he gave the score, "29 points." ”

Thousand faces: "The overall composition and the posture of the characters are very chic, I haven't seen it, 30 points." ”

Zhuge Yu: "25 points, I'm afraid that the author will be proud, hehehe." ”

The score she gave made Liu Suian very unhappy, she was sick, this woman.

After the three of them finished scoring, everyone wanted to know how Sun Huaiyu evaluated the painting that won the first place.

In front of everyone, Sun Huaiyu did not speak immediately, but left his seat and paced to the painting, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"Finally, there is a painting that can catch the eye, the surprise and apprehension of the young couple who have a child are well portrayed, and the light and shadow caused by the crumbling candlelight are just right, give it 23 points."

Hearing that Sun Huaiyu finally gave a high score, the audience burst into applause, it's not easy, it has to be the first place.

Liu Suian, who was immersed in cooking, snorted disdainfully when he heard Sun Huaiyu's evaluation.

Everyone knows that this is the number one work, and who knows if you are a bad old man who is grading the painting or the title of first place.

After the audience scored, the average score was 28.4 points.

Randomly, the organizers announced the well-known answer, this painting belongs to the first place, the author is good for years.

"I'll go, this author also has a year in his name." Liu Manyi excitedly pointed to the TV screen and said to Liu Suian.

Liu Sui'an: "...... I said this is me, do you believe it? ”

"Hehe, why don't you say that the earth will not turn if it leaves you." Ding Aiying felt that Liu Suian had become more and more crazy recently, and continued to 'suppress'.

“……”

If it weren't for the inconvenience, Liu Suian really wanted to tell his parents that this author was really himself.

Liu Suian lied before that he had done a project with Zhang Boheng, and he could get 500,000 yuan after the finishing work was completed, which was obviously not this.

The results of this competition have not yet come out, and the total prize money for the first place is only 500,000 yuan, so I can't give it all to myself.

If you really want to forcibly explain that this is him, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of Liu Manyi and Ding Aiying, why didn't you say it earlier when you participated in the competition, and didn't say it until the finals?

Damn, the feeling of walking at night in brocade clothes is so uncomfortable.
