Politics - This AI generator’s idea of politics is probably pretty accurate for most of us. Confusing and unintelligible, but with a very clear suggestion of always needing to win!

AI photo generator -

Now we know how it all works. Somewhere deep in the depths of the internet, there’s a steam-powered contraption churning out AI-generated images like there’s no tomorrow, for all of our enjoyment and confusion.

The meaning of life -

It’s good to know, however, that this steampunk AI machine has an optimistic outlook on the meaning of life. We hope it’s right about this one, and that life in its truest form is all giant flowers to rest under and colorful orbs to play with.

Smart watch -

Here's another invaluable look into the world of technology. It turns out the little machines inside our smart watches really do still have hands, even if they’re not the type of clock hands we’re used to!

The universe -

Maybe it’s just us, but it seems like our AI friend just confirmed the existence of the Illuminati… Keep your eyes peeled for lizard people!

Family -

The generator was so close to getting this picture of a family right. Unfortunately, for some reason, it decided to add some bigfoot flair right at the end. At least they all look happy.

Career -

Once again, the infinite wisdom of AI reflects how we really feel. It’s hard to imagine another image that expresses the feeling of going to work so perfectly.

The internet -

No one really knows how the internet works, so this image is as good a guess as any. We should all give thanks to the internet god in the bowler hat for all of our favorite cat videos and feelings of existential dread.

Springtime -

Ah, yes, beautiful springtime. The snow melts away, the birds return to their nests, and all of the poodles start to grow back their mossy coats...

Man's best friend -

It’s a persistent misconception that dogs are man’s best friend. Sure, dogs are great, but they just don’t seem to want to build an emotional connection with us humans. That’s why, as we all know and as this image confirms, the chicken is and always has been man’s true best friend.

Van Gogh -

Everyone knows that the life of legendary painter Vincent van Gogh wasn’t exactly a happy one, and his art usually expressed that. But it’s nice to see this AI generator, always the optimist, imagine what it would be like if van Gogh painted cute puppy friends.

Italy -

This AI bot is making sure the world doesn’t forget about Italy’s famous early 20th-century space program. People don’t talk about it enough these days, but these very real Italian astronauts in this very real photograph are still floating out there somewhere, watching over our solar system with quiet nobility.

Kingdom -

Monarchs come in all forms, but we’ve never seen a four-legged sovereign like this on Earth before. Maybe the AI bot is giving us a glimpse into the future, when dogs will rule the icy kingdoms of our post-apocalyptic world.

Shakespeare -

It’s an open secret that no one is really sure of the true identity of William Shakespeare. There are only two verified portraits of the Bard, both of which only surfaced after his death. So we can’t completely rule out the possibility that Shakespeare was actually a hippo in a hat.

Roman Empire -

If you thought the Roman Empire fell a little over a thousand years ago, you're not alone. Is the AI generator trying to tell us that the Roman Empire will rise again some time in the future? In space?

Dinosaurs -

Studying the life of dinosaurs is a hard job, since all experts have to work with is collections of dusty bones. What we do know, however, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that dinosaurs were always up for a good game of beachball.

Mount Everest -

Mount Everest is famous for being the world’s tallest, most treacherous, and inaccessible mountain. Just about any mode of transportation you can think of will have a pretty hard time making it to that peak above the clouds. Except for, apparently, the trusty mid-size sedan.

Breakdancing -

Breakdancing started as a quintessentially American invention on the streets of New York in the 20th century. It has since grown into a worldwide phenomenon, but everyone still acknowledges that challenging a monster on a bridge to a dance battle is just asking to get served.

True love -

Sure, this image might not seem like an outlandish depiction of true love, but the caption written by this AI generator is quite revealing: “Artistic image of me actually finding true love.” Maybe robots really do have feelings?

© Shutterstock

Dreams -

Feelings or no feelings, they sure do dream like we do. Who hasn’t smiled in their sleep, dreaming of two star-crossed capybaras finally marrying and settling down on the coast? They deserve it.

© Shutterstock

Paris -

Ah, Paris. The city of lights, the city of love. Everyone who visits gets to see the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, but only the luckiest of tourists get to see one of the city’s infamous feline businessmen in the furry flesh.

Stock market -

This image seems like a pretty romantic rendition of one of the economy’s most brutal machines. We’d all be a lot more interested in stocks if this is what we could expect from a "bear market."

© Shutterstock

Music -

AI truly is the pinnacle of innovation in today’s society. It’s always thinking two steps ahead. Only the bots know what wonderful music we’ll be able to create when the instruments in this picture are actually invented.

Grocery store -

No one likes having to rush through a grocery store when you leave work late and the kids are waiting hungry at home. Sometimes you just can’t seem to zip through the aisles fast enough on your own two feet. Our friendly AI bot might have just given us the solution to that problem.

© Shutterstock

Zombies -

A zombie apocalypse is, thankfully, only a theoretical possibility, so who are we to say what an accurate or inaccurate depiction of a zombie-infested world is? For all we know, this image could be spot on. The coyotes rise up, develop an infinity for beer and motorsports, and ride around protecting us humans from the undead.

© Shutterstock

Vacation -

This image is a great reminder that we all deserve a vacation once in a while, even galactic supervillains like Darth Vader. We're sure he would be a much more agreeable guy if he got to enjoy cocktails on the beach a bit more often.

© Shutterstock

Humans -

We can’t really blame the AI bots for having a less-than-flattering idea of humans. They probably don’t see us in the best light, when all we seem to do is benefit from their hard work and creativity. But still, calling us rats seems extreme...

© Shutterstock

Robots -

Apparently those same bots that compare us to rats are pretty happy with themselves. If this is really what it feels like to be a robot, maybe they do know a thing or two about being happy that we don’t.

© Shutterstock

God -

Here it is, the question on everyone’s mind. Can AI generators, in all of their wisdom, tell us what the face of God looks like? If this is it, we humans sure got it wrong.
