What if someone used artificial intelligence to program Coachella? Then the poster might look like this.

There are dozens of ‘Shopped Coachella poster memes, but this is the first one designed by artificial intelligence.

An AI shop called Botnik Studios fed their neural network that had analyzed the vast variety of artist names out there. Using those monickers as a baseline, the machine delivered this poster featuring made-up names.

Looking for a name for your new band? Why not borrow one of these? There are some brilliant ones here. Giraffics? Horse Choir? Smushy Twin? Paper Cop? Fantastic!

  • Would have to go with “One of Pig”. Of course, “Hoop of Gomb” would be my side project
