AI Outtakes, Vol. 18
March 5, 2024
Publishing AI Outtakes on Mondays with Christmas also falling on a Monday gives a set of obvious material. AI will be able to do some fun things with Santa, so let's revisit some AI Outtakes classics, with a St. Nick context.
Publishing AI Outtakes on Mondays with Christmas also falling on a Monday gives a set of obvious material. I just know AI will be able to do some fun things with Santa, so let's revisit some AI Outtakes classics, with a St. Nick context.

We had a lot of fun back in Vol. 13 with the whole "add a death star, ruin a photo" thing, so I wonder if we can do that with Santa?

We also had a few stormtrooper photos in that edition - I'm sure we can have fun with a Santa/stormtrooper mash-up.

In honor of our fat bear week episode, can we get a Santa/fat bear mashup?

It wouldn't be an AI Outtakes without an appearance from our unofficial mascot Waldo, who appears so often we gave him his own edition. I wonder what Waldo's Christmas wish is?

Just a couple of weeks ago we had fun doing color + animal combinations. I wonder if we can get color + animal + santa combinations?

Oops, forgot the alligator!

What about our other fave from that edition, the khaki yak?

Way back in the early editions we did an episode that focused on ransomware and other hacker concepts. Let's see if we can get Santa in on that action.

We could also go the other direction - Hacker Santa!

Speaking of Santas wearing black, it's time to revisit our old friend the Goth IHOP, this time with a Santa twist.

No individual captions for these because THEY ARE ALL SOO GOOD
Outside of A Nightmare Before Christmas and AI Outtakes Vol. 10, there are relatively few Christmas/Halloween crossovers. We did a little series in that episode with dachshunds wearing human costumes, so of course a dachshund wearing a santa outfit's a move here.

And then there was the episode where we tried very very hard to get an image of dinosaurs looking at a comet in the sky, with very mixed results. Maybe we can get one of dinosaurs looking at Santa in the sky?

Last, but certainly not least, the Kevin Bacon Pittsburgh edition. It proved challenging to get a good photo of Kevin in Steelers gear, but what about a santa outfit?

It's both awesome and amazing that there's enough editions of AI Outtakes that there are themes, and in this holiday season I'm grateful for all of you who have laughed, written to me to say how much you enjoyed these, and told your friends. Here's to another year of hilariously bad AI.
