Nvidia AI turns sketches into photorealistic landscapes in seconds
Today at Nvidia GTC 2019, the company unveiled a stunning image creator. Using generative adversarial networks, users of the software are with just a few clicks able to sketch images that are nearly photorealistic. The software will instantly turn a couple of lines into a gorgeous mountaintop sunset. This is MS Paint for the AI age.
Called GauGAN, the software is just a demonstration of what's possible with Nvidia's neural network platforms. It's designed to compile an image how a human would paint, with the goal being to take a sketch and turn it into a photorealistic photo in seconds. In an early demo, it seems to work as advertised.

Your comment brings to mind a potential application for this technology.
Looking at the UI in TFA, I would imagine you replace the buttons: Trees, Rock, River, Sky, etc, with new buttons having imaginative titles like Press Secretary, Chief of Staff, White House Counsel, etc.
Young people won't believe you if you say you used to get Netflix by US Postal Mail.
