Have you ever wondered what a "cat bread" would look like? Well, it's your lucky day, because even if you have never wondered about that, you are still invited to explore this bizarre reality made possible by none other than an AI.

It has been recently discovered that Midjourney, a popular AI research lab producing a program that creates images from textual descriptions, can now mix different images.

Internet users have been testing a new version of the Midjourney neural network - V4, and the author of the Telegram channel called "AI molodca" showed his subscribers' the unique imagery that the AI has generated from his suggested photos. The user explained that instead of text queries, you are able to insert links to images in jpeg format in the search bar to get exclusive content.

And this is how, fellow Pandas, a “cat bread,” among many others, was born.

Bored Panda got in touch with Aleksandr, the creator of these collages, to learn more about him and his inspirations.

Aleksandr has quite a creative background. When asked to describe himself, he wrote: “For now, I'm a Georgia-based Creative Director at an independent advertising agency DADA, born in Moscow.”

AI being a rather new thing that's still developing, not everyone has developed an interest in it yet. We got curious about when it caught the attention of Aleksandr. He wrote: “Since ancient times (3-4 years ago). When the possibilities of generative AI became at least somewhat available. At that time - rather in a primitive, but still interesting form.”

“This year, there was a technological breakthrough, so I started a Telegram channel where I explored new opportunities.”

Aleksandr got some interesting results using Midjourney. But we’re sure that mixing photos, e.g. of two cats, wouldn’t be getting the same fun results as Alexandr's chosen pics did.

We were wondering if Aleksandr used some sort of technique that helped him to achieve these results. He wrote: “So, I really love pop and internet culture. But from an artistic point of view, I'm interested in how diametrically opposed concepts and completely different worlds will mix. In general, the combination of something old and getting something new is the main formula of creativity.”

Aleksandr named his favorite photos so far, even if that is not so easy to choose from: “Gigashrek or catbread? I can't choose!”

He also shared with us what people think about his generated images: “AI continues to surprise (and scare a little) people.” But besides that, Aleksandr encourages other people to try it out for themselves and shared some tips for newbies. “You can try it! It's very simple. Go to Midjourney, log in to Discord, go to newbie channels, type /imagine, paste two URL.jpeg that you want to blend, type --v 5 = enjoy.”

And lastly, he added: “Beware, it's very addictive.”

Funny that a Doom uniform plus an Animal Crossing secretary outfit equals Link's tunic.

I'm sure there's something to be said about either his bark or his bite being worse than the other...

I was going to joke that the output still looks better than the Metaverse, but after looking closer, it really does look better. Mii characters from 10 years ago look better.

Peppa Pig All Grown Up. Shame that was the only image we got to see. They were pretty far along in production too.
