Presenting #Botober2025, a series of the worst art prompts that literally only one person in the world asked for.

The art prompts are AI generated but not even by a GOOD AI, by a tiny bargain basement neural network code from 2015. It runs not on a giant datacenter but on a single laptop covered in cat hair. And it hasn’t seen the entire internet, just one set of user-submitted vintage jello recipes. The original dataset was terrible. The tiny neural net’s version is worse. Enjoy?

@janellecshane This was delightful. I recently took your book out of my bookshelf and flipped through the pages.

I miss the days when machine learning was this. Towers falling over finishlines, the latent space between daisies and samoyeds, training silly RNNs to generate utter nonsense.

Really upset with where things headed.
