Reality has 2 components.

1. The physical part. Sight, sound, etc.

2. The ideas.

Some kinds of reality are beautiful and meaningful all by itself. Flowers, healthy people, healthy animals, forests, natural landscapes, clouds, stuff like that.

Some kinds of reality are beautiful and meaningful only when you consider the ideas associated with them. Cars, streets, books, powerlines, stacks of money, feces, etc. And without the ideas they are quite ugly and nihilistic.

These AI pictures here are that second variety.

It makes you think. Or something.
