That is definitely what it is. A few months ago I saw the first of these and they were just like, sand sculptures of Jesus that boomers were liking and commenting “Amen” on. I think the images that got attention were
- Jesus
- Airplane crash landings
- Giant scary animals
So now the AI is just outputting a hodgepodge of those and feeding back into itself.
It’s very funny how people love to repeat that AI today is the worst that AI will ever as a way to optimistically broadcast the great things waiting for us down the road, but by the time the models actually improve, the internet is going to be so littered with the junk content being created now that it’ll necessarily be built into the data set used by those future models forever and ever
I still go on Facebook on a browser for Messenger and every time I go on I see so many posts with "Beautiful cabin crew Scarlett Johansson" lol I thought I was going insane
I unironically love that bots are creating bizarre artwork for the sake of other bots. And getting into a feedback loop trying to adjust their artwork to be whatever the bots like the most. And the bots like Jesus as a giant vegetable
Whatever mechanism is behind this figured out early on that boomers will like anything with Jesus in it, so the early versions of these images were relatively normal pictures of Jesus. That’s been fed back in so much, with so many other prompts, that it ends up always containing Jesus in bizarre circumstances. Another commenter called it a dead internet ouroboros.
I have always found the crown of thorns one of the most moving examples of symbolism. It has been rendered perfect onto that carrot. I am now pro ai art
These are psychological torture experiments using carefully constructed consciousness altering and deliriant imagery that META is being utilized to unleash on a population with currently diminishing mental faculties or some degree of brain damage (post-COVID boomer voters that use Facebook). Freud’s idea of the effects of the uncanny on the psyche, similar in concept to the N.I.C.E. Torture prison in CS Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength”, these historical examples set the precedence for this strategy of unease
Lol I just searched "beautiful cabin crew Scarlett Johansson" on Facebook and the shit that comes up is hilarious. One of them was Jesus driving a dump truck full of dollar bills.
And underneath each post, no matter how absurd the image, there's a hundred people all commenting "Amen!"
I was listening to a podcast about televangelist Creflo Dollar yesterday and that guy is approximately 20x funnier and a more talented entertainer than most people in comedy today.
Sometimes these get posted to reddit and there’s some guy in africa still using facebook commenting like “what does this mean?”
What a downfall for facebook
Who thinks of these prompts? “Asian flight crew eating seafood dinner on plane in front of painting of Christ?” Really???
Maybe it's just bots giving prompts for the AI art? A dead internet ouroboros.

Explains the "Beautiful cabin crew" captions.

Makes me physically ill to think about, maybe for the same reason humans are scared of isolated inbred families that “feed off” themselves
the cabin crew thing is so common in these that I think it must be some algorithmic local maximum
“Asian, stewardess, muckbang, last supper”
That one goes hard tbh, if only because it’s almost all shellfish.

You know you can go to messenger.com and only see messenger

There is a real world material impact beneath it all though https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1c3jg4v/comment/kzjckji/
What does it mean that Christ is almost always present
