1. Alabama

Artificial Intelligence (A.I) has erupted in online popularity, with people using A.I programs to reimagine famous paintings, create unique images/concepts and create series of images based on specific topics. One of these series, is an A.I's interpretation of what every American looks like (from each state). First on this list, is Alabama, which has a heavy focus on the rural aspect of living within this state. There are a lot of earthy tones within this portrait, which reflects the southern aesthetic of people living within Alabama.Original content sourced from Femanin.com

2. Alaska

Image Source: My Modern Met
Alaska is the next state, and features much cooler tones e.g. blue, white and grey. The use of this particular color palette, really helps reflect the cooler climate of Alaska. The A.I's interpretation of the 'standard' Alaskan, features puffer jackets, wooly hats, scarves and weathered bur rosy skin. The couple in this portrait, look as though they're in their late 40's/early 50's, and have worked out in the elements for the majority of their lives.

3. Arizona

Image Source: My Modern Met
Next up on the list, is the sunny state of Arizona. Similarly to Alaska, the A.I programming has used set colors to reflect the climate of this particular state, so there is heavy use of warmer tones e.g. orange, yellow and red. The 'standard' couple from Arizona, have been pictured with sun-kissed skin, blonde/grey hair, tattoos and summery items of clothing e.g. shorts, t-shirts and denim cut-offs. This particular portrait also features a mountainous desert landscape.

4. Arkansas

Image Source: My Modern Met
Arkansas is another southern state on the list, and this portrait seems to be one of the more textural. This texture comes from the couples' clothing and general 'look'. Similar to the other southern states on this list, the 'standard' couple from Arkansas are depicted wearing plaid, earthy tones, paired with weathered/wrinkled skin. This portrait has a darker background, which brings the smaller details into focus.

5. California

Image Source: My Modern Met
Moving on, we come to the state of California. This portrait is a lot brighter, in comparison to the previous images, as the A.I programming has opted to use a more diverse color palette. The couple depicted within this portrait, are a lot younger (approximately late 20's to early 30's), which reflects the majority of the population within California.

6. Colorado

Image Source: My Modern Met
Colorado is next up on the list, and there are elements that bare similarities to the Arkansas portrait. For example, the depiction of the couple, share features with the A.I's imagining of the Arkansas couple (hair, eyes, wrinkles and facial shape). The differences within this portrait, include: the background color, the general color palette that has been used, clothing and facial expressions.

7. Connecticut

Image Source: My Modern Met
Connecticut is the next state on the list, and has a very neutral color palette, which doesn't give it much diversity. The couple depicted within this portrait, could be considered as 'stereotypical' Americans, as they are middle-aged caucasians that are wearing very plain clothing, paired with square-rimmed glasses. Compared to some of the other portraits in this series, Connecticut's is relatively boring.

8. Delaware

Image Source: My Modern Met
Moving on, we come to the state of Delaware, which has a slightly more diverse color palette. The couple within this portrait have a sun-kissed tone to their skin, and their skin does not seem as weathered (in comparison to some of the others in this series). The A.I programming has opted for another neutral backdrop for this portrait, and doesn't really give the overall image much definition.

9. Florida

Image Source: My Modern Met
Perhaps one of the most colorful portraits is next, with the state of Florida. Of course, Florida is well-known for its semi-tropical climate, beaches and wildlife, and this has been reflected via this A.I's creation of the standard Floridian couple. The couple have weathered, yet sun-kissed skin, and they have been depicted wearing summery clothing against a backdrop of a bright blue sky.

10. Georgia

Image Source: My Modern Met
Georgia is the next state on the list, which is best known for its export of peaches, and its slightly more diverse population. For this particular portrait, the A.I programming has again opted for a neutral color palette (against a neutral backdrop). The couple in this picture are African-American and Caucasian, which reflects the integrated population of Georgia, and the diverse cultures within this state.

11. Hawaii

Image Source: My Modern Met
Hawaii is the next state on the list, and it is one of the more colorful portraits within the series. The couple have been depicted as indigenous Hawaiians, and are styled with traditional flowers, clothing and patterns. This portrait also features a darker background, but this really brings the brighter colors into focus, and adds great contrast to the overall image.

12. Idaho

Image Source: My Modern Met
Moving on, we come to the state of Idaho, which features yet another middle-age couple against a neutral background. It seems that the A.I programming, has opted to use neutral backgrounds, for the majority of the portrait within this series. Idaho is one of the more nondescript portraits, as the couple depicted are wearing generic clothing, and the overall image is composed of a very basic color palette.

13. Illinois

Image Source: My Modern Met
Another slightly more diverse portrait within this series, is for the state of Illinois. Yes there is a neutral backdrop, but the couple depicted within the piece are much younger (in comparison to others on this list). They have also been depicted with happier expressions, which brings some dimension and 'life' into the image's overall composition.

14. Indiana

Image Source: My Modern Met
Another depiction of a happy, younger couple, comes from the A.I's imagining of inhabitants from the state of Indiana. This is also one of the few portraits, that features a landscape within the background. This particular portrait, features some kind of woodland area or park, behind the couple. The couple that have been depicted within this image, are holding one another within a warm embrace.

15. Iowa

Image Source: My Modern Met
The next state on the list is Iowa. Iowa is a midwestern state, which is well-known for its countrysides of cornfields.

The couple are older of this state, and have sun-kissed skin.

16. Kansas

Image Source: My Modern Met
The midwestern state of Kansas is next in this series. Similarly to other portraits in the series, the A.I programming has opted for a neutral color palette. The couple within this portrait, seem to be within their mid-to-late forties, and look as though they work and/or live on a farm. They have a slightly paler complexion, and more solemn expressions.

17. Kentucky
