AI art is having a moment right now—and not just in tech circles. Between the endless stream of Midjourney weirdness and the recent Studio Ghibli x AI-inspired content floating around after the release of The Boy and the Heron, it’s clear the bots have officially entered their artsy phase.
Tools like DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney are making it easier than ever for anyone with a keyboard and a vague idea to spit out “art.” And while some of it’s genuinely stunning, there’s still plenty that falls deep into the uncanny valley—or just faceplants entirely.
Whether you’re an illustrator feeling slightly threatened or just here for the chaos, this collection of AI-generated art fails is here to remind us all: creativity might be automated, but taste (thankfully) is not.
