AI Isn't Going to Reinvent the Alphabet Anytime Soon
Looking at typography developed by artificial intelligence is like looking at lettering submerged in deep water, warped and fuzzy. It looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. The words are recognizable, barely, but the original form has been lost. AI typography is, charitably, bad. A recent example of this phenomenon is Word-As-Image for Semantic Typography, a paper in which anonymous authors propose a tool that morphs text into an image of what that text represents. Type in "yoga," for example, and the word will appear garlanded with wobbly vectors of stretching women.
