A Play of Too Many Fingers: AI’s Cringe-worthy Attempt at Concert Hall Romance

Hey there, you digital-age Picassos! Remember that lovey-dovey couple at a concert in a Facebook ad for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO)? You know, the one with the mysteriously multiplied number of absurdly large fingers, waxy skin and an odd sense of fashion? Well, get ready for a laugh-riot as we break down the details of this AI’s adorable fail at creating romantic imagery for a symphony orchestra’s ad campaign.

Key Takeaways From the Wonderful World of AI Blunders

  • A Facebook advertisement for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO), presumably created with help from our not-so-skillful friend, AI, has resulted in an outlandish depiction of a couple that attends music concerts apparently just to develop superfluous fingers and morph into split-personality fashion disasters.
  • The couple’s fingers in the image, apart from being more in number than typically found in a human hand, seem significantly enlarged. Not sure if the AI was channelling its inner Salvador Dalí or it simply had too much digital tipple!
  • The couple’s skin appears more like wax than human flesh, adding a rather eerie feel to the odd romance. Guess the AI hasn’t quite grasped the whole ‘human’ texture thing!
  • And let’s not forget the questionable outfit. While the woman is dressed in a tulle gown, the man also appears to be sporting pieces of the same outfit simultaneously with his tuxedo. Oh, and the lady gets a bonus large cube for her lap! That beats a bouquet any day, right?

Wrapping It Up

In conclusion, while we appreciate the efforts of artificial intelligence to add a touch of digital romance to an orchestra’s ad campaign, the result may have struck a discordant note rather than a symphony. This hilarious mix of a wax museum, a mutant X-men spinoff, and a Project Runway disaster clearly show that AI still has quite a learning curve ahead in terms of mastering human aesthetics and anatomy. But hey, thanks for the laughs, AI! Keep those chuckles coming, and someday, you might just get the whole ‘human thing’ right. Hopefully, before you start giving us all an extra finger or two!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”

Prompt: In a style merging Futurism to highlight the AI aspect and Romanticism to capture the vibrant piratical era, the image features an AI Robot Pirate against a backdrop of a vintage pirate ship amidst a stormy sea at sunset. The robot is rendered in metallic shades and is hilariously attempting to handle various Golden Age of Pirates’ fashion items with dozens of miscalculated fingers popping out from its one robotic arm. A tricorne hat is being squashed, a once fine brocade waistcoat has the buttons incorrectly aligned and its breeches are inside out. The look of digital confusion is striking on its LED screen face, illustrating the comical chaos. The exaggerated features and movements highlight the “Faux Pas” humorously.
