A Google engineer named Alex Mordvintsev made DeepDream.
DeepDream uses a computer brain called a neural network.
Usually, this brain looks for things in pictures.
DeepDream does the opposite.
It tries to change pictures so the computer "sees" something specific.
This process makes strange, dream-like images.
The images look overdone, like a psychedelic trip.
DeepDream popularized this image-making idea.
It started with a network called Inception.
People realized regular photos could become strange art.
The program tweaks pictures many times.
It tries to make a part of the computer brain happy.
It's like finding shapes in clouds, but much more intense.
Sometimes, pictures change so much they look like hallucinations.
Scientists think these images show how the computer network works.
Some people think they look like taking drugs like LSD.
DeepDream helps us understand computer vision.
It might even help understand how our own brains work.
You can use it to explore AI or make trippy art.
It's also used in research on drugs or art.
