ACAD 310: Transductive Loops

So this was a wild ride - turns out AI's need a lot of coaching when they run into technical things or are running off outdated data or false assumptions - some understanding of the underlying code is essential to be able to make anything actually function well.

For example it's easy to get in a loop of troubleshooting where the AI just simply iterates on versions of bad code it's already output - a basic understanding of what's happening greatly helps in spotting what's going wrong and collaborating on fixing it:

 

But with that caveat out of the way - I made a lot of loops, starting with simple things

, moving on to more complicated projects, trying to make something that would transductively convert a file from one to another to another through a chain. With some success! But also a lot of



But some successes:

 

Which actually did create a full loop

But of course that wasn't enough for me, and I got more and more ambitious:

 

 Which led to the inevitable more and more errors resulting from expanded scope

 

 Which I recognize counts as a success - I already succeeded, I'm now just pushing further - but taking a break from this level of madness I decided to approach a similar problem from a different angle - why not first experiment with using processing to mangle a single images through application of various effects?

 

 

First this just applies different effects to an input.png, which is fine

- but of course the fact that it was easy and possible made it boring, so what if instead I take a single input.ping and stack the effects in iteration?

 This proved more interesting, and is something I will expand on but right now I'm really tired.
