An AI was told to design the Apple Car. This is what it made… - Yanko Design

The results may look fascinating, but what's cooler is that this comes from OpenAI's DALL-E 2, founded by Elon Musk. So in a way, credit for this Apple Car goes to Tesla's Elon Musk?! Mmm?? Designed by Dall-E 2 based on a text prompt from designer, educator, and YouTuber John Mauriello, this Apple Car is fascinating for two prime reasons – the car's design itself, but more importantly, the underlying AI technology that ended up creating the car. The genesis for this idea came from Marques Brownlee's own efforts with DALL-E 2. In a YouTube video, Brownlee demonstrated how simply typing the words "Apple Car" resulted in a car that looked like the apple fruit. This became a starting point for Mauriello, who instead, decided to tweak the prompt a little to get more specialized results. Mauriello told the AI to design a "Minimalist Sportscar inspired by a MacBook and a Magic Mouse, built out of aluminum and glass", while also specifying it to design something in the style of Apple's former design head, Jony Ive.
