Be sure to tank your artist — AI turns tanks into famous works of art |
Defense News & Army Times34 day(s) ago

Artificial intelligence is controversial to say the least. As its use becomes more prolific, doomsday predictions about it being the undoing of humanity are swirling unfettered.
However, at least for now, it remains fun to use services like OpenAI’s DALL•E to create fanstastical pieces of art.
As such, we commissioned it to reimagine some of the most famous pantings in history — but with tanks.
These are our favorites.
Edvard Munch’s “The Screaming Tank”
Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa Rides Shotgun on a Sherman”
Johannes Vermeer’s “Tank Girl with a Pearl Earring”
Katsushika Hokusai’s “Abrams Tank Rides The Great Wave off Kanagawa”
Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawk’s Ride Home from the Diner”
Salvador Dalí’s “The Persistence of Tanks”
Gustav Klimt’s “Kissing a Tank”
Vincent Van Gogh’s “Tank Outside a Starry Night Café”
Tanks for stopping by!
