The ones with text are so surreal. They feel readable and yet everything is just slightly off. I can read Japanese and this feeling is very different from reading a script that I completely don't know (like Arabic or something). Maybe when people have a stroke and can't comprehend language it feels something like this? https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.1/seed0300.png https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.1/seed0300.pn... https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.5/seed7458.png https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.5/seed7458.pn... https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.2/seed1289.png https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.2/seed1289.pn...

    As pointed out in the comments to the Know Your Meme article, this was originally generated by a GAN and posted on Instagram by @busyrotting, who isn't credited in the article at all. Unfortunately their profile [1] is gone, and the Internet Archive doesn't seem to have saved the post [2] either. Nevertheless, we've looped back to neural networks again.

The AI-generated characters remind me of hentaigana, which are the obsolete variant forms of kana used before 1900: they're clearly Japanese writing, but weird and basically illegible to the modern reader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentaigana#Gallery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hentaigana#Gallery (That's hentai as in 変体 "variant form", not hentai as in 変態 "sexual perversion".)
