New AI-generated crossover art of Jason Bourne and Children of the Corn should not exist. Within the last few years, art developed by generative artificial intelligence programs have become all the rage on social media. Software including DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Artbreeder have allowed creative minds to conjure up beautiful as well as horrifying images of their favorite pop culture figures.
Using the film title pun Children of the Bourne as a challenge, Fahad Hoda shared his Jason Bourne and Children of the Corn AI-generated crossover art on Facebook. Check out the image below:
Standing in front of a cornfield, six young children eerily share Matt Damon’s expressionless visage as the capable amnesiac spy Jason Bourne. Although the image is only a simple face-swap, Damon’s face on children’s bodies paints an unnerving picture.
A.I. Art Programs Are Perfect For Fans
AI art programs can be a wonderful tool. These complex machine-learning programs allow people to support their favorite books, movies, video games, and television shows in new creative ways. With many who only dreamed of being equipped with the talent to join the legion of skilled artists on social media, AI can now deliver detailed art at the touch of a button.
Since their advent, generative AI image programs have allowed people to reimagine their favorite characters in new ways. Recently, characters from Harry Potter underwent a Pixar makeover, giving Ron, Hermione, and Draco the wide-eyed adorable look the acclaimed animation studio is known for.
For every devoted user applying Midjourney to dish out appealing images of their favorite characters and worlds, there are others who use these programs to create unsettling Jason Bourne/Children of the Corn crossover-like illustrations. Family Guy‘s Griffin family imagined as real people will surely make anyone shudder, as they would when they see Tom Hank’s face on a Woody doll from Toy Story. Generative AI art software offers users endless possibilities for new creative content, regardless of its appealing nature.
