Welcome to the first installment of AI Outtakes! At Orchestra AI we use Generative AI a lot, and sometimes it goes horribly and hilariously wrong. We assemble the worst examples in a newsletter called AI Outtakes.

AI Outtakes, Vol. 1

Welcome to the first installment of AI Outtakes! At Orchestra AI we use Generative AI a lot. One of of frequent use cases is to create illustrations and stock photos for very specific scenes, where we can't find a good traditional stock photo.

Occasionally however, this process goes hilariously wrong. AI Outtakes is a weekly "just for fun" newsletter featuring "The prompt I was using vs the image I got".

I hope you enjoy it! Subscribe to get this sent to you weekly and share it with someone who'll appreciate it.

This is a great example of how generative AI makes photos that look great as long as you don't pay attention to any detail for too long. Like in this one the glasses are melted and the salesperson is holding the end of a Croakies glasses strap rather than a pencil.
