There’s a good chance you’ve seen Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone reimagined as a Balenciaga model, or Pope Francis wearing an uncharacteristically cool white puffer jacket that looks like he’s about to preach hip-hop during Paris Fashion Week, and while it’s visually stunning, it’s not real. It’s purely AI-generated art, created by artists, that’s been entertaining—and sometimes worrying—people for years.
It looks like pop culture babies are on the rise! Whether it’s the Joker looking cute and not scary, or the baby Hulk looking green and ready to play with Legos, lots of artists have tried it out and the results are just too cute! Some of them have too many fingers, but who cares? As long as Marvel sees this coming, who’s complaining? Plus, who could resist an Avengers sequel with all the characters turning into toddlers?
