Commodore 64 AI Image Generator
AI summary
Nick A. Bild adapted a probabilistic PCA algorithm to run on a Commodore 64, training a model on about 100 retro-inspired 8x8 binary sprites on a modern computer and then converting the simplified generative logic into BASIC. The C64 generates unique 8x8 sprites fitting the training distribution, which are expanded to 64x64 and displayed, with 94 iterations taking about 20 minutes.
