This is so true. I've spent the last 15 years collecting pictures like these and ai has made every one of them obsolete.
- You just reminded me of "Internet K-Hole" that was a great blog... I don't know if it still exists or not
  Edit: It exists: https://internetkhole.com/ (NSFW at times)
  Edit2: Just scrolled past this one LOL:
  
  Edit3: Might be the same content, but this is the original blog as I remember it: https://internetkholeblog.tumblr.com/
  Nevermind, looks like it links to the same content. Id hoped there'd be more :(
  
  (NSFW at times)
  I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't that many people with their bare ass cheeks out.
  Don't get me wrong, it's not gratuitous, but enough to feel like some kind of pattern. Just people with their butts hanging out.
  Anyways, this little story was my favourite:
  
  Amazing website, thank you for sharing. My favorite one:
- send more pls
  
  yes i need more
- AI makes a picture of something that just completely never happened, so the viewer's imagination doesn't even bother filling in a story. I think your collection is a thousand times better.
- This is so far ahead of what AI can do there is still value there. Also even real images whose story got lost lose value.
- So you saying with AI I can date this person? :|
- There are bagels on boobs in this Little Big music video too

Shit. Hadn't considered this

I like to gaslight myself into thinking that all the absurd AI content I see online are just weird photoshop images in disguise
- Now I can't even tell what is real anymore.
  
  Me neither. I kid, but I genuinely have trouble telling the difference between AI and heavily edited images. Someone on Reddit posted a video of a model on Insta who I assumed was heavily filters and everyone caught on that's it AI but it took me reading the comments and constantly rewatching to see it.
  We are so fucked
- same shit
  
  Incorrect.
  Extremely weird imagery used to take imagination and talent.

RIP Worth1000.com
- Also b3ta! The source of so many great shops.

I thought the one on the right was AI since it "went viral" recently. But maybe it's older than I thought.
- I had it as a wallpaper 10+ years ago.

What does the text on that beautiful Strawberry Elephant creature say? Looks like it's in Farsi
- It's Arabic. The pic is a pun on "Good morning" which is written sabah el-fol. The picture says sabah el-farawla which roughly translates to "Good Strawberring".
  
  Wouldn’t even call it a pun, as someone pointed out already. I’m going to sacrifice the joke in the name of explaining it.
  
  This meme says Morning of Strawberries (صباح الفراولة) which is both clunky (Arabic’s got a poetic quality and these two words put together just intuitively do not work that way. It has the meter of a punchline if that makes sense) and silly, but with the textured elephant and the 13x12 resolution as you can probably guess it’s just a surreal meme.
  But now you know why it’s a surreal meme.
  ~~Come back next week for the much less wholesome next episode of Arabic forwards from Arabic grandma: videos alleging the Jews invented homosexuality, cancer, and sex~~
- I think it's just the Arabic for "strawberry elephant"? Hard to tell at that resolution
  
  It says "strawberry morning", lit. "morning of strawberry" (might be misspelled??)
  It's a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, "good morning", "morning of roses", "morning of light", etc.

not with THAT attitude you aren't

It’s little depressing, cause you post that now and it will get all the same “ai slop” hate.
I think the best that we can hope for is that people will put the same about of work into their AI artwork as they put into this. And the results will be 100x better than what we have without AI.
- You seem to equate the work an actual artist does to typing in a chat box. This implies that you know nothing of the work an artist does and therefore negates your opinion.
  
  I was simply talking about work as a metric of time and energy. There is art that potentially can be done in AI that is not simply “typing in a chat box”. Just like photoshop artists aren’t simply “applying filters” or whatever it is they do (you’re right, I’m not an artist).
  And for much of the “slop” on the internet, it is just copying some prompt you found and tweaking it a little and posting it on the internet for points.
  I think artists have the potential to take AI to the next level and make even better things. Similar to how photoshop artists can make incredible art.
  This implies that you know nothing of the work an artist does and therefore negates your opinion.
  This is weirdly aggressive as I’m just giving my hopes for the future and not judging anybody… maybe you misunderstood what my comment was about.

  Books are just people typing onto paper.

We live, we love, we lie
That was 2 years ago and it felt like yesterday

At the risk of getting downvoted I gotta say there is some excellent weird stuff on that same level that was created with the help of AI tools. There are some artists out there with actual talent and creativity using genAI.
It's a damn shame that it's drowned out by the very real and very overwhelming amount of slop. I keep hoping the creeps that flood the internet with that crap get bored of it so it's easier for actually creative stuff to rise to the top.

Could swear I've seen the smurfcat on civitai

- The original shows a Smurf Cat
  
  I like my version better.
