early AI art funk

2025.04.19

Two years ago I used the prompt with diffusionBee, "a cat with black and white features and tentacles from a snake's body rising out of water in a photorealistic style"
I asked ChatGPT, using whatever DALL-E 3. I guess it's technically a lot better but damn the old one was so cool. I wonder when (or maybe already) we can ask modern image makers to look like the old weirdness.
I don't disagree that I'm often preoccupied with incredibly stupid shit, but frankly, cultivating the capacity to find joy in incredibly stupid shit has much to recommend it.
