This is another AI Art experiment with Deep Dream. Another text was run through 110 iterations to see what could be learned. Again we are dealing with a descriptive text that is difficult to depict. The beast of the book of Revelation was one that was inevitable in this series. While the Four Living Creatures or the Locusts of Revelation seem to be attempts at describing something observed, this text seems to be more clearly metaphorical.
I like having human attempts, like these three, to be able to compare to. I don't think I had expectations that the AI would succeed in some way humans could not to depict images from the difficult descriptions. I was interested in whatever the result may be.
The text given to Deep Dream: Revelation 13:1-3 "The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed." For this first part, I will leave it at that and supply the first 60 images generated. In part 2 I will get into analysis of the results and what could be learned for how to direct Deep Dream better in the direction I want.
Once I have had time to finish analysis, I will post part 2 with images 61 - 110 and any findings.
