People love to hate generative artificial intelligence, and we’re here for it. Recent research shows that more people are concerned than excited about AI use. Meanwhile, internet users are calling out the most egregious artificial intelligence slop that looks like it was produced in a data center right out of a dystopian nightmare.

We’re featuring some of the creepiest, weirdest, most confusing, funniest, and dumbest things ever spat out by chatbots, as shared by members of the ‘Cursed AI’ community. Grab your holy water and unsee juice, and join us in the AI slop swamp below!

Oh, and when we say 'cursed,' we really mean it. Yeah, it's worse than you think.

    Why Is The Koalas Face A Big Cat Cub??

    A cursed AI image showing two infant koalas with unusual, unsettling facial features in a newspaper clipping.

    So my local newspaper for my area decided they were going to use AI to generate the imagery on their latest paper.
    Tell me why there are koalas with the face of what I can only guess is a big cat cub? Maybe lion/cheetah cubs…?? It’s so bizarre. I genuinely don’t understand how it made to print.
