    Given that this is the internet, I highly suspect the author has left out a category.

      Third sentence on the page:

      > The image model I trained to filter out vandalism works very well, but it also hides a lot of ingenious drawings. You could see them if you’d activate the SHOW NON-HORSES setting, but most people do not.

    This would fit right into any modern art gallery. Seems that these interactive generative art projects are in most museums nowadays.

    What about pelicans?

    One of the horses on a ball is very recognizably a James Baxter[1]!

    My Pegasus and my Space Invader weren't selected :(

    Anyway, I remember a very good Godzilla and a moonwalking Michael Jackson. I think the post need an additional row for weird.

      Oooh, there are just so many horses - more than 600 000 - that it's a tiny chance to actually see your drawings! And there are around 50 000 drawings marked as non-horses - all kind of weirdness - that could be an exhibition on its own..

      Thank you for drawing, a typical drawing is seen more than a hundred times, so your pegasus and space invader were seen and appreciated : )

        Nice game. I draw like 10 "horses". The first didn't move the legs because I didn't understand the idea, then I started to add moving things, and then weird things like the space invader. Anyway, mines were not as good as other examples I saw.

        Is clicking and double clicking some kind of voting system?
        • spython 6 hours ago
          Yes, on the original gradient.horse it was an early experiment in hidden moderation - and it did help hide quite a few of the less kind drawings. Now, as the moderation model trained on the larger corpus works quite well, it's just for fun.

    One of your snails is clearly a chambered nautilus instead. :)

    "Oh god, what have you done. You have drawn your horse incorrectly. Look what your careless hands have wrought. Select the pistol, and then, select your horse."

    No dicks?
    • spython 5 hours ago
      So many dicks! Roughly 4 percent of all drawings are dicks. With over 600 000 drawings that means.. Twenty five thousand dicks. I thought about including them, but as with all the other transgressive drawings, the only person who enjoys looking at them is the one who drew them.
