Gymnastics is a stunningly gorgeous sport. A perfect harmony of strength, flexibility, and athleticism that causes us to marvel at what the human body is capable of. Ask a computer to try and parse it’s nuances and you get one of the most terrifying things the world has ever seen. I’m sorry to show you this.
A.I. tried to recreate gymnastics and gave us a Lovecraftian nightmare of unimaginable terror
ALL HAIL OCTOBUTT!
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
A.I. was prompted to recreate some footage of gymnastics, and it spat out something that’s a mixture of Guillermo del Toro’s wildest nightmares, and a future sequel to The Human Centipede. Contorted human forms become a bizarre mass of flailing limbs, heads vanish into thin air, then a butt with eight legs is performing on the balance beam.
ALL HAIL OCTOBUTT!
I think it’s actually pretty impressive that by just asking A.I. about gymnastics you get some creations that are more terrifying than anything dreamed up by H.P. Lovecraft.
Cthulhu has nothing on Octobutt.
