The imagination of artificial intelligence crossed two unexpected worlds again: that of the capybaras and that of the classic video game Sonic. Using reference images, a generative system recreated what this popular animal would look like if it were the protagonist of an adventure in the style of Sega’s retro titles. The result is a scene that seems to come straight from a 16-bit screen, with green platforms, golden rings and a landscape very similar to the remembered Green Hill.
What a capybara would look like in the Sonic universe

In the image, The capybara adopts characteristic features of the Sonic universe, such as red shoes, white gloves and an attitude ready to run through the levels. The background maintains the classic elements of the game: palm trees, shiny water and mechanical enemies that patrol the stage. The AI manages to integrate the animal naturally into the environment, as if it had always been part of the video game.
