A Chilling artificial intelligence (AI) has offered a glimpse of what the “Face of God” could look like in a string of creepy images. Responding to prompts such as “Face of God”, “God’s Face” and “God” – the AI program revealed a series of strange, unearthly images.
Pictures show a mixture of people – the vast majority of them appearing to be women – created from the mind of the machine. Are any of these what you would see if you really do have to go towards the light and meet our maker when we die?
One of the most striking images shows the wizened face of an elderly man seemingly emerging from a mountainside. His head is topped with a mixture of trees and horn-like growths as he stars out from the mountain range.
It is one of many produced using the system NightCafe Creator – one of new generation of computer tools used to create art. It was offered the “Face of God” prompt on both the portrait and landscape setting – creating a unsettling mix of images.
The faces appear to look human – but have a distinctly unearthly and ethereal quality. Most appear feminine or androgynous – even as many religions refer to their god as “he”, “him” or “father”.
The gender of god is often debated among religious scholars – and many faiths have female gods, such as Bhumi in Hinduism. And one particularly striking image shows what appears to be a disembodied female face adorned with all manner of crown-like growths.
She stares out from the center of the image at the viewer with an orange glow on her cheek that could perhaps be a golden tear. Another more unearthly picture shows a bald head crested with a mechanical beard seemingly emerging from a mountainside.
It looks out over the desolate landscape – perhaps pondering its creation. Other striking pictures show a beautiful woman with a crown that could be made out of trash. She has a heavily glow and around her and sits with her eyes closed.
And one shows another feminine face with her eyes close as what appears to be a halo rises over her head. While another image appears to show a person with a stern expression as they wear a wimple or bonnet.
Pictures of faces created by the AI appear to be a mix of angelic and ethereal. The landscape options meanwhile are dark and foreboding with craggy mountainsides lit by fire while some appear to have temple-like structures upon them. Could any of these really be the Face of God? (SOURCE)
