Austin Torney has continued to explore the possibilities of AI in the context of the Rubaiyat

The letters AI, standing for Artificial Intelligence, are becoming more familiar to us all, even in the specialist context of the illustration of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. We recently published a blog item about the presentation of images of Omar Khayyam generated by AI and Austin Torney has now sent us information about his latest exploration of the possibilities of AI in relation to the Rubaiyat. He writes about the results below. Posts about Austin’s earlier investigations of this field can be accessed via https://wordpress.com/post/omarkhayyamrubaiyat.wordpress.com/2929
