This Russian Firm's Star Designer Is an AI--but No One Knew That for a Year

Imagine discovering a new artist or designer--whether visual art, fashion, music, or even writing--and becoming a big fan of her work. You follow her on social media, eagerly anticipate new releases, and chat about her talent with your friends. It's not long before you want to know more about this creative, inspiring person, so you start doing some research. It's strange, but there doesn't seem to be any information about the artist's past online; you can't find out where she went to school or who her mentors were. After some more digging, you find out something totally unexpected: your beloved artist is actually not a person at all--she's an AI.
