AI Art
San Francisco-based artist Nathan Shipley uses AI to create generative art. Nathan uses AI to see what historical figures would look like if they were alive in our modern world.

hmmm

I love this because it illustrates that even realistic art takes certain liberties to exaggerate features, proportions, and colors that might not exist in real lighting/faces.

Except Beethovan. The AI decided "fuck it" and himbofied that poor man.

Look me in the eye and tell me you didn’t need Fuckable Beethoven in your life.
