Late medieval urine wheel, c.1500. Before stethoscopes and x-rays, a pot of piss was an important diagnostic tool. The wheel usually consisted of 20 different colours ranging from "white as well-water" to "black as very dark horn." The colour was associated with various ailments.

I'm not sure A.I. is the issue here. Scammer clickbait meme advertising bullshit was the internet long before A.I.
It is sad that human trolls are being augmented by machines, but that's not new

I love the hybrid creatures from ancient Mesopotamia. They hint at what scared people, what protected them, and more.
This is a “lion man” (urmahlilu), a magical creature that once flanked the entrance to King Ashurbanipal’s palace in Nineveh to protect against harm.

They seem to be recreating the Intonarumori, Luigi Russolo's futurist noise machines. (too bad about the Fascism, it's hard to separate the art from the politics...)

New design in my Redbubble store! Wolverines in their Nash Metropolitan! The Wolverines are replying to the narrative caption. "OK Human" (a la "OK Boomer") implies that the presumably human narrator is more dangerous and irresponsible.

Hello
I'm an artist working at the intersection of painting, drawing, sculpture and installation. I get my pocket money from being an art handler/preparator. I don't mind A.I. but recognize its inherent problems.
