AI comes up with some really weird shit. I love how Vincent Van Gogh is picking an apple with some sort of amorphous blob appendage. Maybe that’s why he has to use a weird walker with a different handle on each side. Also, the little girl has two right hands and is sitting on her walker for some reason. ---

Yeah, I wasn’t really too concerned about getting it perfect, I just wanted to illustrate the absolute gobsmacking ridiculousness and cruelty of the idea “we don’t need undocumented workers! We’ll just make the medically disabled work in the fields for 10 hours a day”. ---

You got the point across pretty well I think. 🙂 AI just tends to distract me. Like in a “find 4 things different in these pictures” kind of way. ---

No word on how much time was spent about the Texas floods, but any time spent in relation to that, at all, was probably about how he wants to abolish FEMA. ---
