## Divine AI

The Swedish musician and AI enthusiast known as Supercomposite used an AI to create hundreds of creepy new tarot cards — and has been blasting them on Twitter for days, in a delightful barrage of occult-flavored machine learning.

The artist is using an AI called Looking Glass, which [debuted last year](<https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2266739-ai-generated-touhou>) and was made by [Twitter user ai.curio](<https://twitter.com/ai_curio>). Some cards have humanoid characters with holes for faces, some feature monstrous-looking creatures in bloody shades of red, and some are creepy simply because they *seem* uncannily like tarot cards at first glance.

The cards don't exist in real life, but Supercomposite has been naming each of them and curating the best results in a long Twitter thread that started earlier this month. It seems the artist is simply trying to decipher what might appear in each of the cards, although the haunting images aren't perfect recreations of any one object and could be interpreted many ways.

"I generated 500 of these and I’m not stopping," [Supercomposite said](<https://twitter.com/supercomposite/status/1484930084578414592?s=20&t=XSqavscyh0BzJEJNbZ1XsA>). "I’ll post the best in this thread as I curate them over time."

Take this amazing entry, dubbed the "King of Bones."

Twitter fans seemed stoked about the novel cards, weighing in on their potential spiritual applications.

"Honestly using AI for divinatory purposes makes perfect sense to me," [one user commented](<https://twitter.com/world3tk/status/1486071028161908739?s=20&t=bft-VYu7VvZ-j2rifmissA>).

Because tarot cards are an ever-evolving art, practitioners today often rely on new decks like the [Modern Witch Tarot](<https://www.lisasterle.com/mwt>) and [Tattoo Tarot](<https://www.laurenceking.com/product/tattoo-tarot/>) to seek and add meaning to their lives. Unique decks allow tarot readers to connect with art and spiritual messages that feel more personal, and therefore, more useful.

In other words, an AI tarot deck might not be such a bad idea for enthusiasts of the medium.

## AI Art

The same AI has also been used to create tons of other interesting art pieces, including this nonexistent and extremely eldritch horror-looking [Animal Crossing](<https://www.animal-crossing.com/new-horizons/>) villager.

No matter what fandom or hobby you fall into, there's probably some kind of related wacky AI art you can create, and why wouldn't you? Who knows, you might stumble on something people want to share as much as these scary tarot cards.
