It’s been over a year since the launch of whimsical AI chatbot ChatGPT and image generator Midjourney, and it’s safe to say the world hasn’t been the same since then.
What is AI? very What they’re good at is throwing common stereotypes back at us and making people’s blood boil.
So, someone asked Midjourney and it says that what Europeans think the average person in each state of the United States looks like? Yes, get your pulse racing.
Well, guys, what do you think about all this?
Here are some of the weirdest images Midjourney has come up with.
Alabama
Alabama definitely seems to have pulled the short straw from the bunch and will definitely receive some backlash.
Complete with a Krusty the Clown-like hairstyle, toothless grin, and dirty clothes, this seems too harsh.
California
California, in turn, is one of only 10 women featured in AI’s portrayal, and the only woman among the 50 states to appear alone in the image.
Wearing a fashionable jumper with beachy waves and shades – many Californians might consider this acceptable.
florida
The crazy “Florida Man” meme has been circulating online for quite some time, but it looks like this particular image generation has finally given a face to this elusive and mysterious character.
A cheerful Mr. Florida seems just happy to be here, but seems ready to snap and respond to the delegates…
idaho
You may be wondering what that guy is doing with such a big potato.
Well, all of the license plates in Idaho have the words “Famous Potato” on them, so I guess they brought this on themselves.
Hawaii
Perhaps one of the least visually stressful of the many AI depictions, Hawaii looks like an old movie poster or tourist postcard.
Wearing open-toed sandals, a wreath necklace, and sunglasses, the pair sit on a rock and enjoy the view of the beach.
Oh, and obviously, Hawaiian shirts are also involved in the mix.
Massachusetts
Why do I feel like I’ve already seen Mr. Massachusetts in real life?
The man is sweaty, wearing gym uniform, with a backwards baseball cap, and a very nervous expression on his face.
Whether it’s just passion or pure anger, this one stands out 100% from the crowd.
nevada
Home of Sin City – Probably everyone was expecting some kind of reference to Las Vegas and slot machines, but maybe they were expecting something more slightly More subtle.
But that being said, this grandpa looks like he’s having the time of his life as chaos is going on behind him.
new mexico
Taking up the Roswell incident, this AI says that Europeans believe that the residents of this state are not from Earth.
texas
Well, Texas seems to encapsulate just about every stereotype about the state under the sun.
With a gun in one hand and a hamburger bigger than your head in the other, Mr. Texas is sure to divide some opinions.
The sunset behind him is a surprisingly calm background compared to the sheer chaos present in most AI images, if I do say so myself.
I wonder what the AI will do next…
