Meet Xiaomi, the AI-Generated Bot
Xiaomi, an “experimental AI designed to analyse and evaluate art through data-driven patterns”, has been creating quite a buzz with its artistic endeavors. During an interview, Xiaomi described artist Jan Wölfel’s seminal work “Girl in a Pizza Dress” as a “unique combination of fashion and cuisine”. The interaction was both amusing and unsettling at times, mirroring the ambivalence surrounding AI art.
