This AI, designed to create children’s drawings, has become a nightmare for children

Just today, we presented to the magazine the case of artificial intelligence, which is being used to complete books that are in their final stages. This is clearly about GPT-3. Now we are moving from a specialty, from literary to artistic.

The artist has created the latest nightmarish version of the popular children’s fairy tale “Goodnight Moon” by illustrating it with artificial intelligence-generated images. If the story doesn’t seem special to you, that’s fine, as it’s predominantly Anglo-Saxon.

Joris Bucks decided to upload the resulting video to YouTube so that we could all have nightmares tonight. And that each scene is worse than the previous one. For example, “two kittens and a pair of mittens” is an absolutely creepy illustration.

Although all the images convey quite well what the artist asked for.shows how a machine learning algorithm could misinterpret the tone of queries because lThe idea was to create illustrations for children, not for adults who want to scare.

Looking at the interpretations, we can confirm that they are ingenious, well drawn, and quite close to what was required. The problem is the tone of all the images: dark, creepy, creepy… nightmarish.

This is not the first time that artificial intelligence is mistaken in tonality or leaks information about what is for children and what is not. As happened a few weeks ago with YouTube when it cataloged some videos for kids that were taken from an adult horror channel.

The use of AI has a promising future ahead of it, and it proves it every day. Only, like any child who is learning, you must teach him what is right and what is wrong. Problem? This is where morality and ethics come into play, metaphysical issues that are not so easy to get involved in, and there is no universal truth.
