8 Times AI Didn’t Understand The Assignment And Created Hilariously Weird Images
Love them, hate them, or fear they're gonna steal our jobs, but it looks like generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are here to stay.
However, these programs still need a bit of refining.
And if you don't believe me, just take a look at the Facebook page 'Weird AI Generations.' It regularly shares the underwhelming results that DALL-E, Midjourney, and other prominent contenders sometimes produce.
From alien-like anatomies to surreal landscapes, their creations can be both fascinating and bizarre at the same time.

We got in touch with the creator of 'Weird AI Generations' and they are very optimistic about the technology's prospects in the coming years.
"I expect AI images to produce even better quality in the future," they told Bored Panda. "In my opinion, they are going to be much more in-depth and more accurate to the request, too."

Some challenges, however, might be ingrained in the technology itself. Ahmed Elgammal, a professor of computer science and director of the Art & AI Lab at Rutgers University, agrees that newer versions of generative AI will give users more control over outputs, along with higher resolutions and better image quality.
However, Elgammal said that "the main limitation, as far as art is concerned, is foundational: it's the process of using language as the main driver in generating the image."

Visual artists, by definition, are visual thinkers," he explained. "When they imagine their work, they usually draw from visual references, not words – a memory, a collection of photographs, or other art they've [already] encountered."
When language is in the driver’s seat of image generation, there might be an extra barrier between the artist and the digital canvas. If pixels are rendered only through the lens of language, artists might have to revamp their creative process, as they will become constrained within the boundaries of semantics.
