Artificial Intelligence and It's Grim Outlooks on Humanity

It's no secret that artificial intelligence has been blowing up on the internet lately. Creations by OpenAI such as DALL-E have allowed for some of the most unique and wild artwork we've ever seen. The Daily Scoop got access to Stable Diffusion, one of the largest GANs (generative adversarial networks) and we decided to try out some prompts to experiment with the AI's outlook on certain topics.

Starting with a simple prompt such as "dog" returns:

But what happens when we start to look for more and more abstract and world-view-based prompts?

Let's try "the meaning of life":

Okay, maybe the AI isn't advanced enough to handle such abstract ideas. Or maybe we just need to combine them together with other prompts to get a better result. We wanted to see what would happen if we asked the AI to display some prompts that were more detailed in nature. Here were some of the best results:

"John Lennon Made Up of Pieces of A Torn Magazine"

(The Daily Scoop)

"A Beautiful Modern Home in The Middle of The Woods in Front of Waterfall, Oil Painting"

(The Daily Scoop)

"The End of The World Illustrated in The Style of Beksinski"

(The Daily Scoop)

"Two Monkeys Smoking Cigars"

(The Daily Scoop)

"Charcoal Sketch of A Man Surrounded By Pills"

(The Daily Scoop)

As the prompts get more and more abstract, however, a lot of really weird things start occurring. When the AI was asked to visually show a photo of "the most important thing in the world," it would simply return a black image. We are uncertain at this time whether this is a machine malfunction or a result of the artificial intelligence's GAN.
