Over the past year we've heard AI-generated music in the style of Kanye West, Tupac, and Nas, a lyrically nonsensical (but stylistically pretty believable) track based on the catalogue of Travis Scott, and a fake Nirvana song written by a computer. It's not just musicians that are being tapped for inspiration by artificial intelligence though, as confirmed by a recent bot that's learned to create drawings in the style of Banksy. Named GANksy (after the machine learning framework, a generative adversarial network, on which it's based) the software "was born into the cloud" in September 2020, as detailed in a statement on the creator's website. The statement continues to explain that GANksy was trained using hundreds of images from the portfolio of a "certain street artist". And though Banksy isn't explicitly mentioned by name, it seems pretty clear from the title – plus the fact that the images are eerily reminiscent of his work – that he's the artist in question.
