The brainchild of engineers Kelin Zhang and Ryan Mather, the Poetry Camera is an artificial intelligence-powered camera that, instead of creating a digital image, produces a poem about what it sees. That’s neat. Just make sure the wedding photographer you hired also has a traditional camera, or your wedding scrapbook will look like a pile of CVS receipts.
The Raspberry Pi board connects to OpenAI’s GPT-4 to generate poetry when a photo is snapped by using computer vision algorithms to analyze the visual data. These AI models study the key elements, colors, patterns and emotions within the frame, before moving onto the actual poem generation.
If you’re interested in building your own Poetry Camera you can get all the necessary files over at Github. I don’t even know how to download those files or what format they’re in, which might tell you how far my knowledge of building AI poetry cameras extends. Which is not very far at all, just to be perfectly clear.
