An example of a high-resolution DeepDream image
  •  Comment I like the contrast between the solid, conservative, maybe boring classic German school building and the psychedelic manipulation. That contrast makes the manipulation much more funny for me ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 08:18, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think this meets FP's requirement for non-notable works, that they are "wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art". Since it is possible to apply the algorithm to any image, and tweak the parameters to taste, we potentially have an infinite choice. The high-resolution of this one actually counts against it, as it can only really be "enjoyed" by pixel peeping. The source training data for this example seems to be quite limited (snakes, dogs?) leading to a lot of repetition which gets boring quickly. At a whole-image level, it just looks like someone overlaid an over saturated Paisley pattern. The choice of combining a building, with straight lines, and organic life dreams doesn't work imo. Similarly the combination of pastel coloured building/tree with unpleasantly lurid primary coloured dream spoils the point that one is supposed to get confused between fact and fiction, dream and reality. The best such dream images work at the whole-image level, and where an organic subject is played with by organic imaginary creatures, resulting in one really thinking for a moment that there's a dog here or a bird there. They really do make one think of a nightmare or hallucination. This doesn't do that imo. -- Colin (talk) 08:55, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Colin. We sometimes need some out-of-the-box photos to shake the system. But this is indeed too much and not particularly aesthetically pleasant. Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:07, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
