A while ago I played around with some code that was based on the following paper. One of the first things that I tried it on was a sample of the famous wave painting, styled by an actual wave.

A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style

Fine art, especially painting, humans have mastered the skill to create unique visual experiences through composing a complex interplay between the con-tent and style of an image. Thus far the algorithmic basis of this process is unknown and there exists no artificial system with similar capabilities. How-ever, in other key areas of visual perception such as object and face recognition near-human performance was recently demonstrated by a class of biologically inspired vision models called Deep Neural Networks.1, 2Here we introduce an artificial system based on a Deep Neural Network that creates artistic images of high perceptual quality. The system uses neural representations to sepa-rate and recombine content and style of arbitrary images, providing a neural algorithm for the creation of artistic images. Moreover, in light of the strik-ing similarities between performance-optimised artificial neural networks and biological vision,3–7our work offers a path forward to an algorithmic under-standing of how humans create and perceive artistic imagery.1arXiv:1508.06576v2 [cs.CV] 2 Sep 2015

Lightbeam Cat

Luna Rides Light Beam

Can you write a story about a cat riding a beam of light. Use a writing style that is characterized by a narrative storytelling approach, use anecdotes and examples to illustrate the main points and also ask pretend questions about your own beliefs and assumptions, use a conversational tone and make it easy to follow your reasoning. Also use metaphors and comparisons.

Once upon a time, there was a cat named Luna who lived in a small village at the foot of a mountain. Luna was a curious and adventurous cat, always looking for new and exciting experiences.

One day, while exploring the mountain, Luna stumbled upon a strange, glowing beam of light. Without hesitation, she leapt onto the beam and began to ride it. The beam was like a magic carpet, lifting Luna higher and higher into the sky.

As Luna rode the beam, she saw things she had never seen before. The world below her became smaller and smaller, and she could see for miles and miles. She felt like she was flying, free as a bird. Luna felt a sense of wonder and amazement as she soared through the air.

As Luna rode the beam, she couldn’t help but think about the nature of light. She remembered her physics lessons and wondered if light was a particle or a wave. She wondered if the beam she was riding on was made up of photons, the fundamental particles of light. Luna also wondered if the beam she was riding on was infinite, and if there were other cats riding on beams of light somewhere in the universe.

But Luna quickly realized that these were just idle musings and that she should just enjoy the ride. The beam was like a river of light, and Luna was its fearless navigator. She rode the beam, feeling the wind in her fur, and the sun on her face.

Just as Luna was starting to feel like the beam would take her to the ends of the earth, it suddenly disappeared. Luna found herself back on the mountain, with the village below her. She realized that her adventure had come to an end, but the memories of it would stay with her forever.

From that day on, Luna had a new appreciation for the beauty and mystery of light. She would often return to the mountain and gaze up at the sky, searching for that magical beam of light once again.

And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, she would find it and ride it again, forever exploring the unknown and experiencing the wonder of the universe.
