I requested AI what the Nintendo Swap Professional and PS6 will seem like By Daniel Piper printed 12 April 23 Information The outcomes are… um… yeah.

AI has proved a massively controversial matter on the earth of artwork and design, with considerations surrounding copyright and ethics plaguing the tech since text-to-image turbines went large final yr. Nevertheless it seems like we do not have to fret about AI predicting the long run – but.

Adobe launched Firefly, its new generative AI mannequin, final month – and customers can now be part of the waitlist to strive the beta. Now we have early entry to Firefly, and requested it to generate photographs of the much-rumoured Nintendo Swap Professional console, together with the marginally extra distant PS6 And, er, yeah – we’re unsure it is fairly on the cash. (Questioning what all of the fuss is about? Try the weirdest artwork created with AI). 

Let’s begin with the Nintendo Swap Professional (sorry, Nintendo STWEH PRO – Firefly appears to have points with phrases even after they’re actually within the textual content immediate). It seems like we are able to count on one thing very plastic (and virtually GBA-shaped, if the bottom-left is something to go by). 

And it appears the PS6 might resemble… a microwave? Not content material with the PS5 trying like an infinite WiFi router, Sony might mannequin the following era of PlayStation (titled PLYYEN 6) on the favored kitchen equipment. Or, within the case of the bottom-left instance, have it considerably resemble a GameCube with a conveyable monitor.

In fact, it is somewhat unfair to ask Adobe Firefly to design two consoles that very a lot do not exist but – however we would not less than count on it to base its ideas on the present consoles. Then once more, Adobe has been at pains to level out that Firefly is just educated on Adobe Inventory photographs reasonably than than copyrighted materials (“Firefly wouldn’t recognise Mickey Mouse”), so even perhaps present video games consoles are outdoors its remit – which reasonably demonstrates the restrictions this brings.
