Looks like an oddly specific ornament for an optometrist, right? But look again. It’s AI art. AI got confused about the gingerbread limbs and made them into glasses because that’s what it recognized. Don’t buy it. A human artist is out of work because of this monstrosity. If we reject AI and prove it’s not commercially viable, perhaps it will go away and jobs will remain in human hands. (That reminds me, AI art likes to give people five fingers and no thumb.)
