What I love about AI images like this is that it looks like there’s so much detail and you could spend forever taking a closer look and then when you try there’s nothing there
Kind of an appropriate emblem of living in the second gilded age.
It would actually be fun to use AI to draft the architecture of a building like this and then meticulously paint in all the details.
2001 Space Odyssey vibes
I saw Funhaus on YouTube play a game of “eye tracker” with ai handshakes. The prompt for the person in the hot seat was ‘just look at the real handshake’. Hilarity ensued. Going to try it with the family at Christmas this year.
Isn’t that already an art style though? Like the dude who made paintings out of just dots?
No that’s more about style, the AI here isn’t doing it on purpose, it’s just doesn’t have the fidelity/ability to provide those little details. Meaning when you zoom in everything generally gets blurry and messy.
It would be like if you opened up one of those cross section books, but when trying to actually see the insides everything was off.
Stephen Biesty is a great example of the kind of meticulously drafted artwork that AI is total dogshit at trying to imitate.
Is this from The Way Things Work?
No, it’s a drawing by Stephen Biesty as pointed out by @GraniteM. It seems like it might be from Stephen Biesty’s Incredible Cross-Sections but he did a number of books about illustrated cross sections.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to DC… but it looks like they’ve done a wonderful job of bringing those swathes of valuable and desirable plots of land back to nature!
… /s obviously, and unfortunately.
Shoot I knew this was fake just because it shows bedrock directly underneath the surface in an area known to be a former swamp…
Former?
I heard it got drained.
Haha good point!

The joys of image generation, I haven’t really considered what the older generations will start posting with it
I’d love to insert some comment about curbing our stereotypes against old people a little, even if the Captured Poster looks old on the pfp.
Well you did insert that comment, if I wanted to be insensitive maybe I would call them boomers, or the leaded generation. Maybe tech illiterate is better suited for my comment, feel free to replace it in your mind
Sorry, the thing I assumed you thought was that the older generations want AI to realize these prompts due to their political beliefs. I was then trying to say that “Donald Trump and the existence of the deep state” is a shallow model of the political beliefs of the older generations.
I don’t think that “tech illiterate” solves my problem, because surely there are tech illiterate old boomer Biden Supporters who don’t believe in conspiracy theories? Do you have these prompts from somewhere else, and were you actually hinting at the fact that tech illiterate people just tell the AI what they want without the Prompt Engineering Fluff, or that they say the same prompt 5 times? You did actually clarify in your other reply, speaking of “the imagination of qanon”.
Tangentially: I’m not even sure some group labeled ‘deep state fearing MAGAphiles’ would write these prompts. Through the European Lens of absolutely no first hand experience with a member of this group, I would guess that if one were to fear the deep state as if it existed, the first thing to do would not be to use a tool that completely makes up every detail of it. I assume one would also have to be manipulative to create an image that does not even convey anything they think they know about the deep state, because it’s so generic, but is still intended to proliferate belief of the deep state. In the end, this image could also be some kind of troll, pulled by whoever, maybe some satirist from the Netherlands, and the Captured Poster could have reposted this instead.
Sorry, thats a lot to read, feel free to substitute my comment with whatever makes you happy
I want to make this my base in Minecraft
This is my Starbound base I will sue those memestealers
There are still freeways even in the top secret underground Illuminati city. Seems about right for America.
I’ve been under the Capitol building before and the only thing there is a chuck e cheese. There is no deep state conspiracy, just a love of cardboard flavored pizza and video games.
You fool, under that is where they keep the children!
Under the pizza or under the video games?
Either way, it must be some tiny children if nobody’s found them yet!
That’s some G.I. Joe shit
This is some G.I. Joe shit.
lmao
On what level do the lizard people live? We need some annotations!
Anywhere below -20
They don’t like the light
Boomers are so cooked with AI
Lol… this is actually what the Austin/TX capitol is like. I think they call it the “underground annex”.
Massive if true.
I spent too long looking over this picture for little hidden details the artist might have added before realizing there is like a 90% chance it’s AI generated and there are no little hidden details
We’ll lose so much when AI art replaces a lot of this kind of stuff.
That’s the plan.
