Giggling while turning a terrible idea into a complete mess - specially with friends - is a joy everyone should get to experience. There are some absolutely inane turns of phrase that live rent free in my head thanks to such adventures that I can never utter out loud and I love them.

If you are using AI then you are denying yourself the joy of giggling while you make an absolutely terrible photoshop for your friends

Have you considered making bad Art?

It's literally better than making nothing and crying about it.

No AI needed. There's all kinds of mediums. If you don't click with any of them make a new one up cuz that also is Art.

I don’t know which movie is being filmed here on Little Collins Street in the CBD, but I do know what city #Melbourne, Australia is standing in for today :)
Photo of a white Ford sedan parked on the side of a narrow city road in Melbourne, Australia that will eventually become a film set. An orange crane with cinema lights mounted on top of it is parked behind this car. There are lights on top of this car that identify it as an American police vehicle. Blue stickers pasted on the car read, “NYPD Police”.

This is excellent.

"The South Australian premier, Peter Malinauskas, would do well to read up on McCarthyism’s appalling moment in history because he and his whispering cadre of Israel lobbyists have become Australia’s new destructive, unapologetic McCarthyites."

Welp, the Chaser's article on the Adelaide Writer's Week, calling it the Adelaide Writer's Afternoon, has infiltrated the Edge AI summary. 'Hilariously', the AI summary combines the parody article with real news, so it could very easily trick people not in the know.

#saparli
A screencapture of the Edge AI summary for the fake Adelaide Writer's Week, with the following text; "The Adelaide Writers Afternoon has been rebranded from the Adelaide Writers Week due to the controversial removal of Palestinian-Australian author Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah from the program. This decision led to a mass withdrawal of about 100 writers in protest, including high-profile figures like ABC journalist Louise Milligan and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. The festival board's rationale for the removal was based on concerns about cultural sensitivity following the Bondi mass shooting. The Adelaide Festival has faced significant backlash and has made changes to its approach in response to these events."
