I'm trying to figure out what leads someone to look at this and say "yes this is good" and then fucking print it, or pay to have it printed. Like, why would you just... print without even fucking looking?
It's so bad that I almost wonder if the person who posted it is themselves using AI (the angle of the reflected street looks off?).
Even if that one isn’t, there have been similar verifiably real instances.
Boss said add a picture, I said artist costs money, boss said "use AI" - just doin' my job.
Boss: "Corperate demand more AI. AI is the future and the future is now!"
Graphic artist: "fuck i need this job to pay for my families survival. Fuck it 'OpenClaudPT generate a breakfast burrito'"
OpenClaudPT: "Wow that is an amazingly insightful and well reasond idea. There are not many people around who could have come up with such a fasinatingly innovative idea for a picture. Here is a picture of a cat! Hope you like it"
Graphic artist: "I didnt want a picture of a cat i wanted a picture of a breakfast burrito!"
OpenClaudPT: "Whoopsie poopsie. You are absolutly right. That is 100% my fault, i will own that one. Here is your Moon Sausage Burrito"
Graphic artist: "Fuck it! Close enough. If the boss dosent give a fuck about my work enough to let me do it then the best they are getting is a Moon Sausage Burrito. Whatever the hell that is"
Boss: "Why does the burrito look weird, oh well corporate asked for more ai and Graphic artist clearly used AI to make whatever this is. I need this job to pay for my families survival so im not going against corperate. Full send it!"
OpenClaud is clearly an amalgam of most AI agents out there, a very accurate one.
It's just missing a
"this needs to be at the printer before end of day and I need to review this before then."
"Dude, it's 3:30 pm"
"Then you better make it snappy!"
