Artificial Intelligence Illustrates "Mr. Blue Sky"

SolarProphet made a video for "Mr. Blue Sky" by the Electric Light Orchestra by feeding each line of the lyrics separately into the machine learning program Midjourney. You can tell that the algorithm is trying to create art with feeling, but not a coherent narrative. The simple song about a day with nice weather can sometimes shift into emotional melodrama as each line is interpreted as a possible book cover. Mr. Blue Sky himself is quite lovely, but Mr. Night is a rendering of our worst nightmares. When he's called just Mr. Blue, he could be anyone, but he's blue. -via Laughing Squid
