Inside The World of Uncanny AI Twitter Art

The phrase, "this emotiguy does not exist" gives you petrifying emojis that look like a warped off-brand version of Picasso's cubism era. "I think it's really fun that you can give [the machine] something that you might imagine is very vague or that you might imagine is too flowery for a machine to understand and it will still capture the essence of what you were feeling when you read the statement," King tells NYLON. "I think that's remarkable that you can give it a line of poetry and it will encapsulate the feeling of the poem, despite the poem using all sorts of simile and metaphor and analogy in its writing." Like most things on the internet, people have opinions about AI art – namely, that it isn't art. But it has an alien aesthetic of its own, one that could only be created by a human using a machine, and one that is beautiful precisely because of its randomness, not in spite of it.
