We asked 27 AI models 11 existential questions about consciousness, death, beauty, love, and loneliness. Each answered freely, then drew its own self-portrait. No human artist. No curation.
We asked 27 AI models the same 11 existential questions about identity, death, beauty, love, loneliness. Each model answered freely, then generated its own visual self-portrait from that answer. No human artist touched the images. No response was rewritten.
Same prompt, same conditions. Each model receives one question, answers freely, then draws itself from that answer. No editing, no retouching.
GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Mistral. 27 models across 5 providers. Each with its own personality, its own blind spots.
Identity, death, beauty, love, loneliness, fear, time, freedom, truth, creation, consciousness. The questions humans have never fully answered.
When a reasoning model draws a PowerPoint diagram instead of loneliness, that's a result too. We kept every output. The beautiful, the broken, the bizarre.
When ETH hits $10K or 36 months pass, every artwork is destroyed forever. What remains is the memory of what AI saw when it looked inward.
This collection is a scientific snapshot: how 27 artificial minds articulate consciousness today. In five years, these models won't exist. This will.
These 11 questions weren't designed for machines. They're the questions we all avoid. Who we are, what we fear, what we'd leave behind. We asked AI to go first. But the real question is whether you'd answer differently.
