Kafka as a Girl (Beautiful MetaMorphosis)
Another AI-experiment
Metamorphosis isn’t just that bad. Sure, Gregor Samsa in Kafka's short story has experienced a real nightmare, after woking up from bad dreams. You remember:
One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.
I was just wondering, how would this mesmerizing author with a deep glance in his eyes look like if it turns a girl. Another direction. Not a nightmare anymore. A hope, perhaps? Kitschy Happy End?
Anyways, I used AI-driven Artbreeder, and I’ve got it:
Artificial Intelligence presented a clever looking girl. Calming, bright, inspired, full of thoughts, but probably liberated of all the angst, self-terror, and paranoia. But is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Do authors have to endure mental battles within to create genius works — no matter with which gender or orientation? Probably we need all of them. The self-torturers and optimists, the sarcastic and friendly, with darkness and light in their souls.
