Recreating Video Game Characters with AI #Shorts

Angry Mario Craft 8228 longed for me to recreate Mario, even though I've already featured him in my debut video. Nevertheless, let's dive into it once more. Mario, as we all know, is a man with a prominent nose and a mustache, sporting a red shirt and blue overalls. The AI's rendition of Mario ended up looking like a character straight out of Toy Story. It's quite clear that this is an AI-generated image. This version of Mario has an unsettling demeanor; the way he stares feels inappropriate and off-putting. AI even resurrected a gangster style Mario.

For Sonic, I inputted a blue spiky hedgehog wearing red shoes and white gloves. The AI's design this time felt overly cartoony for Sonic's typical style. While it is interesting, it's not quite fitting. Oddly, this Sonic seems to have just one eye, resembling a Mike Wazowski version of the character. To top it all off, the AI fashioned Sonic’s head to look like a Chaos Emerald, giving it an overly angular appearance. On the bright side, it nailed the shoe design.

Next in line was Kirby, described as a pink happy ball with red shoes. The AI's fabrication was more like an abstract piece of art. It was challenging to discern where Kirby’s eyes were and why he appeared to be gazing in such a peculiar way. The cheerful aspect was entirely lost. This Kirby seemed to have completely surrendered to life's struggles. One attempt came close but had a strange little point on his head, as if he had been struck with a hammer. And to add to the oddness, his arms seemed to have been omitted.
