The platypus is my favorite metaphore of AI Generated Art. As an animal, it seems to be made of different parts, like some kind of Frankeinstein's Creature. Its existence bears questions like : can we combine elements that seems to be unmatchable? Can we do (ai)art without trying to artificially categorize the pieces? Can we see previous works like an infinite source of inspiration rather than something dead and close? I found the platypus was the perfect illustration of the weirdness of our century.
