Elections Quebec 2022: we transformed the leaders into Pokémon with artificial intelligence

That’s it, we’re in the last week of the election campaign and it’s the last blitz before the elections in Quebec. And like Weighs on Start is not a site that analyzes politics, we have found our own way to contribute to the discussion.

We transformed the leaders of the five main parties into Pokémon.

It is with the artificial intelligence tool Text-to-Pokémonfound by The Verge, that we tried the experiment. Designed by machine learning researcher (machine learning) Justin Pinkney, the tool relies on a description written by the user to generate images of new Pokémon. A concept that quickly inspired the team of Weigh on Start.

So here is Dominique Anglade, Pierre St-Paul Plamondon, François Legault, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and Éric Duhaime… in Pokémon.
