The Stuff of Nightmares

Recently I’ve been noticing a lot of “Ai Art” around on the internet. Sometimes created by my friends, sometimes in ads, I have noticed very interesting and intriguing artwork all labeled “Ai.” I also watched a youtube video about design (because I recently opened an online shop) and they suggested using an ai tool to create new designs. That you could tell the computer what you wanted and it would create a new design that you could probably tweak for your own shirts and products.

The video did say that the designs weren’t high quality, and there might be some slight errors, but it would be good to give a general idea and you could make your own based on it. So I decided to try it out.

I went to craiyon.com, the website recommended in the video, and put in a few keywords. I’m getting my online shop ready for christmas so I put “badminton” and “santa” to see what ideas it would come up with. I will show you the results, but warning…what is seen cannot be unseen.

Why are Santa’s eyes endless gaping holes?!

I thought maybe that was just a fluke and tried more very simple keywords: badminton female players outdoors

Does ai think people look like this?!

Since it was messing up even the most basic thing, I decided to go fanciful. Maybe it would do better there. So I tried “badminton player avocado.”

Those fingers will haunt me in my nightmares.

Then I dropped badminton and went with “person with candy cane hitting an alien.”

It just left out the “person” and went with alien.

“Little girl petting a panda bear with fish”

The horror, the horror…

“Human dancing on the moon.”

This is the only one that has a little but of artistry in it.

I then had to stop because I wanted to sleep that night and anymore would give me nightmares forever. But, I think it’s safe to say the artistic world is still free from computer takeover…for now.

But you know what isn’t a nightmare? The designs over at Dragon Badminton, the best badminton shop in the world! Head on over there and check it out!

As I rode the slick new escalators up the side of the mountain in the Xiamen botanical Gardens, I hated myself a little. Why was I here, supporting the destruction and abuse of this gorgeous natural mountain? I mean, is there anything lazier than taking an escalator up a mountain?

The Instagrammification of a Beach

You’d think in a country where Instagram was blocked there would be no Instagrammification of places. But then you’d be wrong…very wrong.
