Seems it was only a few years ago that AI was generating stuff that looked like some weird dream world abstract art and now it's photo real. Pretty freaky.

These are just some randoms I made in Grok. It's not quite right at following the descriptions and yielded some funny results, but the graphic quality is good. Considering how new that one is that's not bad. Although I wonder if it's just hooking into an existing AI like Stable Diffusion or something.













I feel like that last one would get me to commit suicide to 7 shots in the back of the head if I was in Russia.

Gotta be more specific, you said 'a big bird' according to AI, so it gave you one. Try 'the sesame Street character 'Big Bird''

Have to admit the regular bird was funny too. It's fun to be vague just to see what it comes up with.

A couple more with more details.



While we're adding children's TV characters in weird situations...






One of the dwarves didn't make it.

Live AI music generation with some really great controls, absolutely bonkers:


Generate jingles, podcast intros, Youtube background tracks, etc.

How about AI being used to write books on foraging wild plants and mushrooms. Do you trust them?


We need a John Oliver report on this lol

Seriously tho, what kind of person sits there at a computer, takes the time to make a fake AI book, then markets it via a print-on-demand service? Is it mental illness? Being evil? Trolling with malicious intent? Greed? I'm just trying to imagine someone going through the whole process to create something like this...

There's an entire industry of grifters that created a scam process to pump out such shit:


I'm sure AI hasn't helped things any.

Its all the same cryptobros and AI dickheads doing all this shit. And it grew out of all the stupid bullshit "hustle culture" and "grindset" stuff that was all the rage on social media, where rich assclowns convinced poor people to give them their money to unlock secrets of "passive income" so they too could become rich.

Probably an AI book factory/farm in a country with low wages where they can pump out books on every topic they cand find. The low cost of production makes the reward of selling books in a higher income nation worthwhile. A days worth of AI questioning, copy and pasting can be offset by selling a handful of each title. Any sales over a handful is a goldmine

One could even fully automate this. Imagine a bot that just browses Reddit, Twitter or any other social media or even just google random words, looks for the most popular thread, then gets AI to write a book about the whole thread, then automate publishing it. The whole thing could be a bot that runs on a single PC using Selenium or something to hook into ChatGPT and the Amazon book publishing interface and start pumping out a book every couple days. Don't want to overdo it or it could create red flags.

Yikes. Wonder if the book I got today is AI generated .. . nah.

Anyway, it's got about 80 blank pages!! WtF? Good old CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform I guess. The price was right, and a professional cover design, but so many pages have the header + page number, but not any text.

I know someone that tried. Dunno if it ever made it to "market". Lazy and stupid is the cause. They think there's a shortcut to life, where you can just clever yourself into ease. They see podcast "influencers", and think they just sit on their asses while money rolls in. They don't understand that for every hour of airtime, there's probably 10 hours of prep and editing, not to mention the technicals of getting a decent setup that doesn't sound like you're recording in the bathroom.

They see ai, and understand nothing. They think it's actually smart, and don't know what it's really doing. They lack the skills to proofread and check for accuracy. They also don't grasp the basic concept that assuming ai was amazing and perfect, why would someone buy an ai book when they could make one themselves?

tl;dr
They're dumb

I have some friends who make pretty good full-time livings on social media & sites like Youtube. It's MORE than a full-time job, even with paid assistants! They feel pressure to put out content non-stop or risk falling off the map, which means income reduction. It tends to saturate your whole life...

Yeah I never really realized it myself but even the medium size Youtube channels tend to have a whole team in the background that works on the videos. It really turns into a full time job and not just a hobby. Especially once you get into sponsorships. They tend to have lot of requirements and it's almost like you're working for them and not yourself anymore.
