Is Trump too orange to be human?


Introduction

On several sites on the internet you can now use AI services, such as services to blow up pictures, enhance them, detect nudity and colorize black and white photos using Neural Networks.
So I thought I'd use this server, to test the theory: Is Trump too orange to be human?

Experiment 1

Ground Truth:
 I used photoshop to make a black and white version of this image. Then I asked the site to colorize it.

Result:

Normal skin color on president Trump. 



Differences:

If we make a differences image to analyse the mistakes the AI made, you can clearly see where the AI went wrong:
  • It assumed a brown suit
  • It assumed a normal Caucasian skin color, presumably because of the blond hair.

  • Experiment 2

    Ground Truth:
     I used photoshop to make a black and white version of this image. Then I asked the site to colorize it.

    Result:

    Differences:

    Again, if we make a differences image to analyse the mistakes the AI made, you can clearly see where the AI went wrong:
  • It gave the Oompa Loompa's brown hair instead of green
  • It miscolored Willy Wonka's hat.
  • With the Oompa Loompa's skin color, the same happened as with Trump's. The biggest mistakes (darkest area in differences image) were with the skincolor.



  • Conclusion

    If you classify Oompa Loompa's or Trump as normal human beings, you end up getting the wrong picture.
