Daniel Solis created a whole new order of birds with the help of artificial intelligence. He fed images from old public domain bird illustrations from the Biodiversity Heritage Library into the program called LookingGlassAI 1.1. The results range from "you might believe this is a real bird" to "what kind of mess am I looking at?"
Only some of these images are named. Maybe Solis should consult with the weird Twitter account semi-plausible birds, which actually names birds that do not exist.

See them all in this extensive, image-heavy Twitter Thread. The pictures will be easier to see at Threadreader. Don't stop scrolling when he says "That's it for tonight, y'all." The thread takes up the next day for quite a few more birds. Solis says he has hundreds of them! -via Metafilter
