More Spooky Adventures In Artificial Intelligence
The theme this time is children in a haunted house. As usual with AI, there’s some spooky stuff going on.
1 Note the melding of the nightshirt and the blanket. Why is the girl wearing big pink kid gloves? (They remind me of Zoidberg.) I love the mismatched wallpaper.
2 This is a closeup of a child as he/she notices the ghost. But what you should notice are the strange markings on the pillowcase and the nightshirt. Blood? Jam? Messing about with felt tip pens? Or just a misprinted floral design? I love the expressiveness of the face. The eyes are maybe a little too ‘anime-esque’, but it’s a wonderful face!
