Okay, Sakana AI just dropped something… interesting. Evo-Ukiyoe. Let’s break that down because frankly, at first glance, it sounds like a sushi roll gone sentient (which, admittedly, is a future I’m not entirely ruling out).

Evo-Ukiyoe is a small ripple now. But these AI style-transfer models are going to get insanely good, insanely fast. Soon, you’ll be able to request AI art in any style imaginable — Renaissance painting, Art Deco posters, Babylonian friezes… The democratization of artistic styles, fueled by algorithms. And that, that has the potential to reshape how we think about art history, creativity, and even… cultural identity. Buckle up, art world. The algorithms are entering the gallery. And they’re bringing woodblocks, apparently.
