Neural Networks: Art of the Future or Art Without a Future

The work on the diploma, which is dedicated to the interaction of artists with neural networks, invariably leads to the question of how artificial intelligence creates such unexpected and fantastic images. Such a mechanism for creating chimeras by verbal or textual description resembles how in the past centuries artists painted the strangest and often non-existent animals, based on the stories of people from other countries and continents. This book also contains unicorns generated using a neural network, they are marked with an AI signature. The study consists of four parts: 1. The appearance of the unicorn. Real prototypes Chapter on the causes of this mythical animal. 2. The unicorn and the myth. The main legends related to unicorns. 3. The unicorn in heraldry.
