Images altered to trick machine vision can influence humans too

It would be amazing if NNs can eventually create art that inspires emotions in the audience without them realizing how. That seems to be a feature of normal art but maybe machines can one day do better than the best human artists.

Unfortunately, the researchers will probably never follow up on their work and improve things. That's the sad story of most fun research, they just give up and forget about it once it's published and nobody else seems to want to do the work themselves. Though perhaps that's because most research doesn't actually have any potential for improvement or is false to begin with and the authors know it.

That is a very weird assumption.

If you are so interested why don’t you try your hand at it? This particular research is super easy and accessible.

That's fair. Of course they're not obligated to continue it themselves. I guess I'm just speaking from disappointment when I've encountered old, seemingly interesting dead-ends before and wondered why the authors apparently abandoned their work when they'd be the ones most motivated to further it. Perhaps getting the ball rolling is more the researcher's job than improving the ball.
