    Reminds me of that scene in detroit: become human
  • This is actually gorgeous. People bash on how computers make everything really easy, with music and art etc. But this is true art. He loves the way it makes the designs, he loves the phenomena. It's beautiful to hear him talk so passionately about A.I. generated art.

    This is beyond inspiring, what a beautiful mind this artist has
