A fascinating genre of AI-generated boomer art is crystalizing on Facebook before our very eyes. Ben Garrison is going to be put out of work. Another casualty of the AI revolution
This is actually the biggest problem. It’s boomers coming up with the worst ideas of all time. It’s gotten a lot better at making things that could reasonably happen, but these boomers are just coming up with the worst possible images to generate, and because there’s nothing even remotely close to that in the data set, it has to hallucinate harder. You can make a picture of guys playing baseball pretty easily because there are lots of pictures of guys playing baseball. Harder to make giant bibles being moved by cops because cops never move anything on their cars, and there’s no such thing as a giant bible.
Oh yeah?
The bibles waved about grow bigger each time a fascist coup happens, maybe the next lurch at Bolivia’s lithium deposits or Venezuela’s crude oil will be as big as the AI image ones.
That is like 5% the weight of the Codex Gigas
The Codex Gigas is the largest extant medieval illuminated manuscript in the world, at a length of 92cm.
Cool.
