AI Nintendo Fan Art Combines Game Boys With Food Processors
A popular web artist recently used the AI-powered image-generating program Dall-E to combine the original Nintendo Game Boy with a common food processor, and the mash-up works surprisingly well. Image-generating apps like Dall-E use artificial intelligence to create custom pictures based on a prompt the user gives it, often resulting in a collection of bizarre and abstract AI-generated drawings that could almost pass for something a human artist would dream up. Thanks to the prompt-based nature of the program, users often use Dall-E and similar apps to create interesting crossover images and “what-if” scenarios centered around their favorite characters from movies, TV shows, and video games.
Some of the many video game-based AI images that have been popping up on social media include stunning portraits of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Divine Beasts, dreamlike renditions of Animal Crossing villagers (as well as brand-new villagers that players can later create in-game), and even nightmarish versions of the starter trio from this year’s Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Now, one famous Dall-E user is taking things a step further by using this powerful program to design new Nintendo hardware for everyday use in the kitchen — and proving the blocky Game Boy's design could be used for more than just gaming on the go.
