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Due to the speed at which AI is being developed, this is already out of date as new updated algorithms have been released in the time it took to render these thousands of images.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.

“…the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with the oceans.”

Description

The ocean currents of the world are more powerful than man’s. The tides of the sea and waves of the earth are just as powerful; the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with the oceans. The ocean currents of the world are more powerful than man’s, and even the tides of our sun are greater in numbers than the tides of the earth.

The more powerful and powerful our oceans become, the sooner these tides of the world will bring about the downfall of man.

“It is this natural instinct of man to take an oath of allegiance to the Lord of His creation: That He is the Son of man; that He hath prepared the earth for our times and the people of the world for our times; and He hath made the waters of the sea, that they may flow between the earth and the seas.” The Bible teaches that “the Lord shall establish a new world and bring about all sorts of wonders and evils and the death of kings, that the people may be saved with righteousness.” (Matthew 14:27) This belief was first espoused by Peter during his own lifetime. During his exile, Peter traveled between the United States and the Western Hemisphere as a missionary and, after leaving a few hundred miles of the West coast, spent time in and around New Orleans; in 1812, his wife went to the West Indies to visit her son, a member of “the
