Google Cloud Neural Networks worked with its artificial intelligence (AI) software to make art. The AI transformed all 10,000 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs into machine-made works of art. These pieces of art take the form of abstract paintings. But when viewed closely, the paintings take the appearance of ape shapes that resembles the famous Yuga Labs collection. The project was named Artsy Monke, combining the BAYC ape-spiration and the artistic, fine art aspect of the final product.

This week, Google released a new AI experiment called AutoDraw, which turns your half-baked scribbles into poster-ready clipart. The tool uses machine learning to guess what you're trying to draw and then gives you the option to replace your bad drawing with more polished ones, created by illustrators and design studios like HAWRAF, Erin Butner, Julia Melograna, Pei Liew, Simone Noronha, Tori Hinn, and Selman Design. It's a simple tool that gives those of us without fancy (and expensive) design programs a way to make reasonably professional graphics. In my first attempt to draw something, I started to draw a person. After sketching a blob that distantly resembled a foot, and the program quickly showed me several different types of feet and socks.
