Hundreds of other artists were similarly listed according to what their works evoked: anime, modernism, \u201cStar Wars.\u201d On the Discord chat that runs an A.I. generator called Midjourney, McKernan discovered that users had included their name more than twelve thousand times in public prompts. The resulting images\u2014of owls, cyborgs, gothic funeral scenes, and alien motorcycles\u2014were distinctly reminiscent of McKernan\u2019s works. \u201cIt just got weird at that point.
