What's the most beautiful AI-generated thing you've ever seen?

My favourite AI generated art was thishorsedoesnotexist.com. Sadly, like its horses, it does not exist any more. But it was truly beautiful, at the exact edge between realism and gibberish: so much of what it made was eldritch in ways I would not otherwise be able to understand. My favourite is one image which I use as a profile picture sometimes, which looks less like a horse than a set of environmental conditions combining with a horse's levitating head to produce the abstract conditions of a horse. I genuinely think it captures something about machinic production and about becoming, about how a landscape becomes horse. I sincerely think it's very beautiful; it's also less grotesque than most of the unhorses, but I find the grotesqueness of some of them beautiful as well.
