Do androids dream of electric creeps? Freak Show
The nightmare neural networks are back at it again and this time, theyre taking requests.
Ever wanted to know how an artificial intelligence bot would paint Ben Franklin and Sonic the Hedgehog battle rapping over the legality of cocaine, or what it would have looked like had the late, great MF Doom played cards with Gilles Deleuze?
If so, youre in luck. As their handle suggests, Twitter user and generative artist @ai_curio_bot uses neural networks to create gorgeous, trippy works of art. Per the artists other account, @ai_curio, theyve created two bespoke neural networks Looking Glass AI and Zoetrope 5 to generate the phantasmagoric and often-hilarious pieces showcased on their account.
Along with creating the art itself, the latest iteration of the account also allows fans to submit prompts to the artists neural networks, and see what it spits out. Unsurprisingly, the results are insane.
In response to the neon nights wizard gang prompt, the neural networks created a badass-looking collective that look a whole lot like the neon-themed Golums gang who stalked the streets of Gotham in 1997s Batman & Robin
When another user directed the bot to envision a new Shrek poster, it got to work and created a nightmarish work of abstract art that looks more like 2021s The Green Knight than any forthcoming Pixar film.
This impressionistic style of generative art has made leaps and bounds over the past few years since Googles deep dream made those weird bubble-eyed doggo pics ubiquitous, and its so freaking awesome to see the people behind these sorts of accounts not only bringing their own terrifying and whimsical ideas to life, but also allowing fans to get in on the action as well.
The bots submission inbox is backed up, but hopefully it will soon get to our request to see a nightmarishly abstract look at Elon Musk throwing a shoe at Jeff Bezos.
