Former World Series of Poker final tablist Garry Gates recently asked an artificial intelligence bot to create mascots for all 32 NFL teams and all 30 NBA teams.
What followed was a mix of cuddly creatures that look like costumes from FOX’s The Masked Singer and some terrifying beasts that are bound to haunt your nightmares.
I asked AI to reimagine all 32 @NFL mascots and that may have been a serious mistake. 🫣
