What happens when machines begin to question their origins?
In this short film created with generative art, we explore how artificial intelligence sees the universe, its creators, and its potential futures. I believe the emergence of artistic A.I. has touched off a new era for art that could be as profound as the first cave paintings, 50,000 years ago. If these artistic capabilities are possible after only a few decades of A.I., research, what will the next 50,000 years hold? What will we become?
Crafted by Melodysheep in collaboration with artificial intelligence.

,,iiGIJQxXNZM,UCR9sFzaG9Ia_kXJhfxtFMBA, Knowledge, channel_UCR9sFzaG9Ia_kXJhfxtFMBA, video_iiGIJQxXNZM,Some of the trippiest theories I've ever heard. At the heart of the Milky Way, a cluster of stars has baffled scientists, appearing as if they are forever young. A new theory proposes a mind-bending explanation that could rewrite our understanding of stellar evolution: These stars could be feeding off dark matter – powered indefinitely by the most mysterious substance in the universe.
Studying these objects may lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of dark matter and the universe itself. Some even speculate that dark matter may even organize into forms of dark life. The only way to know for sure is to keep looking.

,1,Change is coming. Humanity is entering a turbulent new era, unprecedented in both Earth and Human history. To survive the coming centuries and fulfill our potential as a species, we will have to overcome the biggest challenges we have ever faced, from extreme climate change, to rogue A.I., to the inevitable death of the sun itself.
The headlines make our chances look bleak. But when you look at our history and our tenacity, it's clear that humanity is uniquely empowered to rise to the challenges we face.
If we succeed, our potential is cosmic in scale. Incredible prosperity is within our reach. Being optimistic is not only justified, it's a powerful weapon in the fight for a higher future.
