Artificial Intelligence Does Strong Bad

​Janelle Shane is a scientist who works with artificial intelligence. She blogs at AI Weirdness, where the funniest AI stuff goes. Strong Bad is a fictional masked wrestler in Homestar Runner's comedy videos. DALL-E is an artificial intelligence computer program that generates images from text. You probably already knew all that, but it's crucial to explain what's going on here. Shane has been having some fun feeding classic memes into the DALL-E program to see what it will generate. So she tried Strong Bad.

While it doesn't quite look like Strong Bad, it does convey the idea of Strong Bad nicely. Strong Bad himself thought so, too, and raced to make an animation of Shane's images. It's like a parody of a parody, now with the original Homestar Runner voices, but with the garbled language of simplified AI. Which is not all that different from Strong Bad's normal language, but different enough to make it funny!

Now, this is the kind of nonsense the internet was made for. -via Everlasting Blort
