06 - The AI That Painted Nightmares: OpenAI, DALL-E, and AI Art

In this episode of "AI Freaky Facts" we dive into Google's DeepDream experiment, where AI turned images into eerie, nightmare-like art blending surrealism and horror. Explore the uncanny valley effect, pop culture ties to films like "Alien" and "Inception", and ethical concerns over emotional manipulation, bias, and AI's role in creativity. Is AI a true artist or just a mimic?
