What is all this?

The images and text on this website have all been generated by artificial intelligence, particularly DeepAI for the text, and Stable Diffusion for the images. This allows us a unique opportunity to see how AI "sees" the world around us.

Consider this a parody of a real atlas, with generated images of maps, food, people, and my surprise favorite: some very unusual animals.

Biases, Cringe, and Outright Racism

There is a lot of controversy about the material AI is trained on. Most of this revolves around copyright, but this art experiment is designed to explore how AI, particularly Stable Diffusion, renders people of different ethnicities. There is a clear American bias, but when it comes to outright racist visuals, the AI succeeds far more than it fails. However, I have left the bad examples in situ so developers can learn how to make AI more equitable.

The Joy of AI

AI is a moving train, and some of its flaws resulted in some really fun images, particularly animals.

Due to the speed at which AI is being developed, this is already out of date as new updated algorithms have been released in the time it took to render these thousands of images. This will likely result in some of the more problematic areas moot by the time you read this. Future AI will have less errors, which won't result in as many of the funny images you'll find in this site.

“Deforestation is a cause for concern, having had an even more negative impact on our environment than deforestation.”

Description

Deforestation is a cause for concern, having had an even more negative impact on our environment than deforestation. This is because the earth itself is constantly changing, often changing in a way that makes it harder to survive. In many cases, it allows a certain sort of forest and a certain kind of life to be destroyed, while the other side gets in – sometimes very slowly and with devastating consequences for the environment.

In one of my book, Understanding Ecology , I discuss an example of what is likely to happen if carbon capture and storage (CASS). This is a project of the world’s largest private sector organization (COSEC) to capture and store carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, based on existing technology with relatively high yields and limited cost. It is a process that has been very difficult to build up since most of it was originally built for commercial uses in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s with the goal of eventually becoming a standard of living by 2050.

However, the project has many advantages over any other. The project has a relatively large capacity. The use of solar panels is expected to generate about 500 metric tons of CO2 per year in comparison to the power generated by one gigawatt of coal per day. In order to achieve these goals, the CCS project would require only 5 megawatts (MW) of electricity, much less than a power plants that have to be replaced every three years. (These power plants have to be replaced every six years
