Summary
Have you ever wondered what former president Barack Obama would look like as a Pokémon? A new AI-powered Pokémon generator can now bring an infinite number of Pokémon crossovers to illustrated life. But the generator is also capable of producing some surprisingly poignant creations, as can be seen in this mosaic of sample images shared by Pinkney. Text-to-image art generators work through a process called deep learning, in which algorithms make predictions and complete tasks in a process that mimics the human brain’s neurons. You’ll need a GitHub account to run the model through the website, but once that’s set up, all you need to do is enter a phrase.

Pinkney was inspired to create a Pokémon art generator by his 6-year-old daughter, who has recently become a big fan of the franchise.
“I think people have only seen the tip of the iceberg so far from these techniques!” Pinkney wrote.
