Summary: The artist designed this program, based on the algorithm of Conway’s Game of Life, to give the image independent vitality. The artist’s image taken by the camera and the random number image data generated by the AI program will bet. Every second will play a chance game with each other. If the AI program wins, it will generate a millisecond of random number data in the image (to distort and deform images). If the human wins, it will remove one millisecond random number data (to form a more realistic image performance). Therefore, every second, humans and computers are engaged in fierce duels. However, the computer program has a learning loop setting, and each win will increase the probability of the next win by 1/10000, so this bet is not fair. Can the person in front of the camera keep his body? Will the human image be decomposed by the program?
