There's too much AI art on the internet now and it's getting fed into the models so now AI art is literally getting inbred

It unironically has simulated mad cow disease

It got significantly better, year ago there was no chance for anything even remotely readable and now you can sometimes get few words ok, like in the second pic. Also people on those pics have nearly correct number of limbs and fingers unlike before.

This looks like some SDXL checkpoint, maybe even the base version, so that'd be last year's big hobbyist local model. A midrange graphics card from a few years ago can churn out several of those images a minute, and a high end current gen card could bring that down to around a second (even less for SDXL Lightning).

This is probably the result of a completely uncurated spambot that's just trying to dump SEO shit into a prompt and post whatever comes out the other end. Like literally one single machine could be providing these images for dozens or hundreds of different spam bots because the local models make a local server that can be communicated with via an API by a GUI frontend or other applications.

Edit: checking popular SDXL checkpoints, I think it may be an older version of juggernaut XL, like the bot farm operator just grabbed the top ranked checkpoint from civitai a few months ago then just set up the bots for it and hasn't bothered to grab a newer one or fix any issues - why bother, when the whole thing is some baffling scheme to grift ad views from what seem to be entirely other bots.

If part of the feedback it gets is positive interactions on social media, facebook boomers might be actively contributing to this lmao

It looks better if the person writing the prompt has several goes at it, refines the idea, and picks the best one. But Shrimp Jesus is spreading so fast that the people(?) writing prompts are just giving it one go and posting whatever it throws out.

The lack of taste doesn't help either.

That's almost a kind theory compared to the alternative: they read all the parts about Jesus being kind to the poor and hating on the rich and consciously chose to reject it.

I knew a Mormon girl growing up who did take it very seriously and had read the Book of Mormon, The Bible (KJV), The Doctrine & Covenants (by far the most interesting Mormon scripture as it is the revelations of Joseph Smith alongside Mormon history and up to his death. Actual ‘prophetic’ ramblings of an Uber-American weirdo conman) cover to cover several times.

She told me the hardest part by far was the Old Testament outside of Genesis and Exodus and a couple others because it was insanely convoluted and boring. Just mundane rules and boring lineages and that kind of thing.

Call the Pus.

T Swift's rider has gotten a little weird overtime

Every car is a Pus Taxi when it has a pig inside, CMV

honestly, if u swapped this for a group of soviet soldiers unloading a comically large das kapital, it would’ve gotten a like out of me

it's a bit disconcerting to think about (and I don't believe it's right) but sometimes I feel like there's a portion of the population whose brains overcorrect sensory input to a massive degree, where even a crudely drawn image looks like a masterpiece and it really says "POLICE" and "BIBLE" on that AI picture and you would have to walk them through the image step by step in person to explain that

Let’s make Pus Taxi a band! I would totally go see them.

i wonder if intentionally spelling wrong when you want text in these things would make it more likely to spell correctly on the output

Actually it seems like an iterative system of making images based on those that got traction previously. For example, I saw the Drew Gooden video and it was clear in that that these AI things seem to get more and more specific with time, so it could be that these programs are using engagement as the positive reinforcement to find and refine their AI images, prompts, and text descriptions into what gets the most engagement possible

Also the "thou shalt have no other gods before me" and "thou shalt not bow before graven images" and "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's property"

Today is my best year yet, thank you holy bibble praise Jesus
