AI

Michael DeForge @michael_deforge this is an underrated bit of awfulness from the Barnes and Noble book covers thing The covers, known as the "Diverse Editions," will be featured on the following titles: Alice in Wonderland, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Emma, Frankenstein, Moby D---, Peter Pan, Romeo and Juliet, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Secret Garden, The Wizard of Oz, Three Musketeers, and Treasure Island. According to a press release, the titles were chosen with the help of AI, which scoured hundreds of classic novels to determine whether or not the protagonists were explicitly described as white. Those who weren't were given a little color on the cover. 12:25 PM · Feb 5, 2020 · Twitter Web App
