Q7 AI Playground

1. Basics

Beginner AI Playground

This is a beginner playground to try out some AI tools that can be used by students. Some may indicate that you need to be 13 or older or to have your guardian or parent permission. Please check with your teacher.

After you have tried one or more of them, think about and discuss with a partner, small group, or as a class:

  1. which one(s) I tried
  2. what happened
  3. two or more things that it could be useful for
  4. what information (or data) I think the AI was trained with

Quick, Draw! from Google

Quick Draw!: Play this online game. The computer gives you a Prompt, then tries to guess what you are drawing. You have under 20 seconds! Use the Let's Draw! button to get started. As you draw it gives you feedback so you can add to your drawing. It tells what it sees based on the database of drawings it has been trained with. You can keep drawing to add more features based on the machine feedback as long as you beat the timer. You do not have to be an artist!

Google AutoDraw

Start with the Tutorial to get an idea of the tools. Why? It shows the different features you can try: color picker, Type tool, Shape tool, color and Fill, selection, rotation, resize, share and download. 
This is an example of AI Machine Learning, where the computer is helping you create artwork quickly based on drawings by real artists that are stored in a database.
