Lawyer Commercial Written by AI Bot

Keaton Patti forced an AI bot to watch over 1000 hours of lawyer commercials. They then prompted the bot to write it’s own lawyer commercial script. This lawyer’s past clients include three tornadoes, and he promises that “you don’t pay any money unless you pay us money”. While this video won’t rank high on any spots for creepiest visuals, the services this AI generated lawyer provide are a bit too dystopian for our taste. Will this lawyer win your heart? Yes. Will this lawyer win your case? Absolutely not.

A Fictional “Lost Episode” of The Simpsons

“Dead Bart” is a fictional “lost episode” of The Simpsons that Matt Groening, the Simpsons creator, decided not to air due to its content. The storyline is extremely dark. Halfway, Bart is sucked out of a plane window and dies. The description goes on to say that all of act two is comprised entirely of the cast crying, and “Act three opened with a title card saying one year had passed. Homer, Marge, and Lisa were skeletally thin, and still sitting at the table. There was no sign of Maggie or the pets.”

THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY: A.I Predicts 400 Years In 3 Minutes

The description is “How will Humanity look in 400 Years? This exciting time-lapse of our future produced entirely by Artificially Intelligent Concept Futurists tells us exactly how.” The video is broken up into sections based on the eras the AI predict. The Reckoning, The Dystopian Age, and The Retreat are all prophesied time periods, and that’s just until 2100. Someone needs to tell the AI to lay off the dystopian movie genre and watch a few rom-coms.

Loab, the Internet Demon

Loab is an AI-generated character developed by the OpenAI team as an example of what GPT-3 is capable of creating.

Despite being completely fictional, Loab has gained a following on social media and has sparked discussions about the creative potential of AI. Swedish-based musician and artist Supercomposite has worked extensively with Loab, and claims this is the first instance of an internet based cryptid.

Harry Potter by Balenciaga

A deep fake is a type of synthetic media that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to manipulate or generate visual and audio content that appears to be real but is actually fabricated. Deep fakes are considered scary because they have the potential to deceive people and spread misinformation, posing a significant threat to privacy, security, and trust in the authenticity of media. “Harry Potter by Balenciaga” is a hilarious deepfake with horrifying implications. So while we’re all laughing at model Hagrid saying “You are Balenciaga, Harry”, let’s remember just how convincing deep fakes may be in the very near future.

Power Sight 64

What happens when you mix the aesthetics of the early 90s and an episode of Black Mirror? Power Sight 64. The virtual reality we have today doesn’t hold a candle to the capabilities of the VR of Power Sight 64. Complete with sentient and assistive AI and the ability to feel pain during video game fights, the marketing for this headset is top notch. The ad states that “you may never want to leave”, but we’re thinking it may not give you the choice to leave.

Aliens in the Home

Reddit user u/BowlFullOfDeli_Bird used image generating AI to create a surreal set of five images of aliens trespassing in a home. People are terrified of alien abductions because the idea of being taken against their will by unknown beings and subjected to invasive medical procedures is a deeply unsettling and traumatic experience. Thankfully, artificial intelligence can lend its artistic talents in deepening this collective fear, serving us hyper-realistic depictions of our little green friends coming over during the night completely uninvited.

Synthetic Summer

There are brilliant authors writing some of the most provocative stories about rogue AI, but we’re guessing no one has written about the dangers of AI getting their hands on beer production and Smash Mouth’s “All Star”. A truly hypnotic take on all American summer fun, “Synthetic Summer” offers us yet another refreshing take on how humans ingest things through the eyes of artificial intelligence. If you’re interested in new methods of drinking beer, unsettling eyes, and hearing repeating lines from “All Star”, this video is for you.

The Carnival Act That Inspired Garfield

“The Carnival Act That Inspired Garfield” is a fictional account of how Jim Davis got the idea for his beloved feline character, Garfield. According to the AI, Rutherford the Telepathic cat was a carnival act in the early 20th century who toured the United States with his owner, Ron Barnuckle. Unfortunately, “The carnival act would fall out of favor when a commission was appointed by the Taft administration to investigate the supposed telepathic powers and intelligence of the Cat. It was discovered that Barnuckle had conned audiences through use of robotics and children sitting on each other’s shoulders in a cat suit.”

Human Infected With Spider/Alien Virus

Terrifying, pointy toothed mouth? Check. Too many legs? Check. Hairy, spider like body? Check. Subreddit r/aiArt is a treasure trove of horrifying and beautiful AI generated content. User u/therealpicard posted a set of twenty photos under the title “Horror Images: Human infected with spider-like alien virus transforming them into a human/alien hybrid”. We think that description is completely accurate, and we’re not in a rush to come across any human/spider alien hybrids anytime soon. Or really ever.

I Asked an AI to Show Me Hell (And It Terrified Me)

YouTuber Qxir prompted image generating artificial intelligence to create several different hell scapes. Photographs of hell, demons in hell, computer hell, and claymation hell are just a few examples of his creative prompting. What generated is genuinely terrifying. Qxir was quick to point out an observation this particular AI seemed to be attached to. Qxir said, “If there’s one thing AI seems to think about hell, it’s that there are a lot of people there”.

Soundgarden was an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1984. Known for their unique fusion of heavy metal and alternative rock, the band was one of the pioneers of the grunge movement and achieved significant commercial success in the 1990s. They probably didn’t realize that over two decades later, their music would be blended with creepy AI imagery. YouTuber Hanrui Huang used generative AI Midjourney to create this compilation video. They prompted images, going line by line to the lyrics of the song, to accompany the music. The result is a haunting music video you likely won’t forget anytime soon.

It would appear this YouTuber is building an entire world of disconcerting lore with interconnected videos. Along with a catchy, burger-themed jingle, this fake ad will leave you with a craving for red meat and a fear of mascots.

StyleGAN2 – Mapping Music to Facial Expressions in Real Time

This video definitely sits firmly in “uncanny valley” territory. This project by Mario Klingemann is very unique. It integrates music by Kraftamt and generated images of facial expressions. In “StyleGAN2 – mapping music to facial expressions in real time”, we are able to see the generated overlays of multiple human expressions all compiled into one face. It’s scary, hilarious, and almost heartwarming to see so many wide, grinning faces.

These stills are very Cronenberg, and it seems the AI was faithful to the seasoned directors uncomfortable style.

Presidential Spaghetti Party

YouTube creator, Alex Howard, uses AI to create “A fever dream sitcom where Joe Biden and Donald Trump have a great day eating spaghetti together.” In true hard to understand AI fashion, the spaghetti has a mind of its own, Trump clones himself, and by the end, both Biden and Trump turn into spaghetti. This is a fun alternate universe where the only real issues are: do you or do you not support parmesan on spaghetti?
