Artificial Intelligence Designs Halloween Candy for Each US State

Every year, we get a new map of the most popular Halloween candy in each state. But fictional candy is even more fun. Janelle Shane of AI Weirdness gave a prompt for each state to an algorithm, such as "Product photo of the most popular halloween candy in Alabama" and snagged a picture of what machine learning has learned. Shane soon found out that Halloween candy always seemed to mean some form of candy corn. So she changed some of the prompts to mention "candy bar" and in some she made the state more prominent.
