What happens when you ask an artificial intelligence to write a script for a short film about AI’s impact on society? You get this dystopian nightmare.

Realistic Mario Monsters

Realistic Mario Monsters

Because Adam at North of the Border can’t get enough Mario, he decided to work up sculptures of some of the franchise’s many monsters. Though his “realistic” versions of Boo, Blooper, Piranha Plant, and a group of Goombas are the stuff of nightmares. Adding pointy teeth to stuff is always guaranteed to up the creepy factor.

We thought the Teletubbies were pretty weird to begin with. Thanks to Adam from North of the Border, these kids’ show characters are now downright creepy.

Man-Ant and Man-Spider

Man-Ant and Man-Spider

Adam from North of the Border apparently got confused and got the names of two of Marvel’s superheroes backward. His Man-Ant and Man-Spider sculptures are two of his most disturbing creations to date, making the insects the hosts with human genetics taking over their bodies. It’s the human skin that really creeps us out.

The Carnival of the Ages: An AI-Generated Short Film

The early days of AI filmmaking are here, and the results are just as strange as you might imagine.

Making a Cursed Red M&M

Making a Cursed Red M&M

Back in 1976, they took red M&Ms off the market because red food dye was thought to cause cancer. While those M&Ms couldn’t really kill you, this one might. Adam from North of the Border imagined what it might be like if M&Ms ate people like people eat candy. It’s amazing how creepy you can make stuff by adding teeth.

Making Thomas the Tank Engine Evil

Making Thomas the Tank Engine Evil

While his eyes always gave us the creeps, Thomas the Tank Engine is a pretty charming character. But in the hands of Adam from North of the Border, he’s is anything but pleasant.

If Pikachu Was a Real Animal

If Pikachu Was a Real Animal

Adam from North of the Border answers another question that nobody was asking: What would a Pikachu look like if it was a real animal.
