Here's an AI's interpretation of what lies beyond Michelangelo's 'Creation of Adam'

Have you ever considered the nature of the universe beyond the Judeo-Christian concept of creation? I know, this is a gaming hardware post, but bare with me. Somehow Dall-E has made me question the fabric of reality and I just needed to share it with you all, so I'm not alone in my existential crisis.

The Dall-E mini(opens in new tab) trend has been making waves across the web, showing up at all corners of social media to morph disparate subjects together and to imagine what might have been. We even commissioned it to design an 800W RTX 4090(opens in new tab). Basically it's become something of a trend to have AI generate cursed scenes and things that never existed. 

Now we have Dall-E 2(opens in new tab) slowly rolling out to the public, which is a little more advanced than its mini sibling. Not only can it edit images pretty well(opens in new tab), it has the ability to extend images by generating what it thinks should logically sit beyond the image's frame. We'd asked AI about the nature of the universe before(opens in new tab), but I'd never considered asking an AI to use this format to speculate on what's out there.

And yet hat's exactly what one Reddit(opens in new tab) user did with Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel fresco painting, The Creation of Adam. Brought to our attention in a Twitter post(opens in new tab) by FLKDayton, Dall-E has made some pretty far-out predictions of how the image should be completed. We suppose they ran the algorithm a good few times to get it from where the original poster cut the image off, to the end of the zoom.
