Top AI Image Generator Creates Least Disappointing Image So Far

It appears the great technological race to replicate human creativity has finally culminated in a truly breathtaking achievement: a machine-generated image that one might, at an extreme stretch of the imagination, describe as "passable." While critics (those still clinging to quaint notions of artistic merit) continue to bemoan the uncanny valley and general air of existential dread emanating from most artificial intelligence outputs, Google’s latest iteration of its Gemini app has reportedly snatched the coveted title of "least disappointing."

This monumental success, heralded by its meteoric rise on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, suggests a public starving for even the slightest glimmer of digital adequacy. Gone are the days of demanding ingenuity; now, we celebrate the absence of glaring anatomical errors or the subtle horror of too many fingers. It's a testament to progress that a generative AI can finally produce something that doesn't necessitate an immediate apology to the visual arts community. Truly, a golden age.
