Apocalypse influencers! AI is asked to 'think' what last SELFIE ever taken on earth would look like and proceeds to produce nightmarish images
Daily Mail ^ | 7/29/22 | Stacey Liberatore

Humans snapping photos of themselves with melting skin, blood smeared faces and mutated bodies, while standing in front of a world that is burning is what the DALL-E AI believes will be the last selfies taken at the end of times.

DALL-E AI, developed by OpenAI, is a new system that can produce full images when fed natural language descriptions and TikToker Robot Overlords simply asked it to 'show the last selfie ever taken.'

The nightmarish results each show a human holding a phone and behind them are scenes of bombs dropping, colossal tornados and cities on fire, along with zombies standing in the middle of the destruction.

One of the selfies is a animated image of a man wearing what looks like riot gear. He slowly moves his head around with a look as if his life is flashing before his eyes while bombs fall from the sky around him.

One of the pictures reminds me of an AI version of 'The Scream'.

I can believe that some idiots would take selfies under those circumstances.

I doubt selfies would be high on the list of things to do in the end of the world.

Why ask the AI questions like that? Seems like the nature of absurd questions would tend to color or condition the AI badly.

The AI was evidently not made aware of the dozens of underground bunkers distributed across the globe for the elites and their bimbos to dive into when the fecal matter hits the rotating wind-generating device.

There will be no last selfies, as the bimbos will be generating selfies continuously in between liaisons with their elite masters.

The sky hasn’t fallen, it’s been sucked into hell along with all else.

Dumb AI. Politics will not end all life on earth. A stellar cataclysm will. Show that stupid AI!

If the world were about to end, and the doomsday bomb were exploding behind me, I don’t think taking a selfie would be a priority. Who would look at it?

It looks like the AI just posed “man in apocalypse” with a selfie-phone. I’m not sure it “believes” anything.

--- " AI is asked to 'think' what last SELFIE ever taken on earth would look like and proceeds to produce nightmarish images"

Obviously both the AI program and the AI interrogator are not highly intelligent.

The intelligent response would have been to ask why such a silly question was expected to have an answer.

What are remarkably intelligent are some of the caustic comments at the Daily Mail site's article. Among them -- "If the end comes & you still have your phone, there's not much else you'll be able to do. I don't think ordering a pizza will be much of an option."

If AI were indeed AI, then it would have found the query an occasion to sell itself, as in "with AI, there will be no catastrophic end of the world until the sun supernovas. You've got plenty of time."

Perfect description of the main stream media. Has nothing to do with reality.

Solar micronovas are on an about a 12,000 year cycle.

The last one was about 12,000 years ago...

Cheers to the mentally ill, Internet obsessed developers. Those images are downright funny.

Mine would show the scoreboard showing the Detroit Lions winning The Super Bowl.
