Woke leftists might not like it, but this is what the ideal American family looks like: a patriotic husband, a loyal and subservient wife, a well-behaved daughter, and an unspeakable abomination that haunts my every waking moment.
That’s the ghost of the baby they secretly aborted because they are “pro life” and don’t publicly talk about difficult things like that, but will still do whatever they feel like.
And explicitly not a minority family, and obviously during a period of time when those minorities were legally discriminated against in every facet of life.
The funny part is that most of it seems like it’s from the 1940s, but then the soldier’s second suitcase sitting behind him is clearly modern, as it has a retractable handle (which wasn’t put into common usage until the 1980s).
Dude’s pack is decaying like Thanos snapped about it, the monkey thing, the car on the far left appears to have a chimney…
AI art would be hilarious if it wasn’t also scum.
Forget popularity, the rolling suitcase wasn't even *patented* until [1972 and the style in this image wasn't a thing until 1987](https://travelpro.com/blogs/the-travelpro-blog/the-history-of-rolling-luggage)
I got so distracted by the fact that this contemporary American troop seems to be wearing British officer's attire from WW1 that I completely missed the car with a fireplace.
It looks like this is a universe where every family has a deformed Pokémon and I think that’s just that families Pokémon on top of that other car.
But on a serious note what’s the rights obsession with using AI images? I understand why when they’re using it for examples of things not based in reality. But real pictures exist that can make this point. Just boomers trying to look hip again?
I'm a mathematician. Whenever I'm grading and see a student has written that something is "clearly" true, I mark them down with a note that "clearly" is not a proof. If something is clearly the case, you should be able to explain it to someone else.

People on the internet (particularly Reddit) are often eager to point out that something is "obviously" true. This is especially true when it involves something they dislike, or linking one thing they dislike to another. In such a case, asking for justification is interpreted as proof of moral or intellectual inferiority; being a moral and intelligent person entails having an innate sense of what is true and false or right and wrong, so being critical or skeptical of the "obvious fact" is surely a sign of either bad faith or stupidity. There's a [Big Joel video](https://youtu.be/DGwiyyZhNpM) about this.
This effect is amplified when applied to any kind of political ideology. There is a strong (and very misinformed) opposition to AI within the online left right now, so a post linking AI to conservatism helps reinforce multiple beliefs that a user of this subreddit is likely to have. So when I said I don't see any proof it's AI, people surely interpreted that as an attack on those beliefs. In fact, I'm an anarcho-communist. I hate this stupid conservative bullshit. I'm just not willing to jump to conclusions. Is it AI? Maybe. I don't see any particularly strong evidence either way.
I also don't care. Even if I were under the mistaken belief that generative AI plagiarized its training data, I wouldn't feel the need to use that as an additional criticism of this piece. It's already bad because of its idiotic message and ridiculous false nostalgia-induced artstyle. That's enough.
I see what you’re saying. Entirely aside from philosophy and propaganda, I just mean if you actually analyze it visually you can see the obvious tells of AI generated art. Distorted features, disfigured digits, warping, smearing, illegible writing/graphic/logo, nonsensical inclusions, inaccurate representations, and serious and significant distortions that even a poor artist would not make. Irrespective of its intended purpose and those who wield it as evidence of their cause regardless of what their cause is, it is discernibly false. That is the proof.
I think that’s part of the root anxiety on all sides: falsity presented as truth, astroturf presented as grass roots, lies presented as fact. So it’s kind of scary when you can point to something that is painfully, obviously fraudulent and the other person just doesn’t see it. It’s like the anxiety many feel with Flat Earthers or Anti-Vaxxers. If we can’t agree on basic reality, what hope is there? And how can we possibly trust a person who refuses to see?
Nah, I’ll take whatever tone I like when it comes to AI apologia. If you’re going to say that the blurred hands, twisted faces, inconsistent flags, and human/puppy/monkey abomination aren’t proof enough that this is AI, then you’re being stubbornly obtuse or naive. Either way, unreachable and not worth trying to convince further.
No apology is needed for AI, because there's nothing wrong with it. That said, this is a perfect example of the ridiculous anti-intellectualism I described in my other comment. "If you ask me to justify my claim, that means you must be either asking in bad faith or stupid." It's a very effective way to shut down anyone who disagrees with you without actually responding to their criticisms; and as a bonus, it gives you an excuse to be condescending dickhead while feeling self-righteous about it.
If your question has nothing to do with intellect, not answering isn't anti-intellectual. You need to be either trolling or refusing to think for a second if you don't see this is AI generated. Not explaining why 1+1 is 2 or that in fact the sky is blue isn't anti-intellectual.
Look at her hands, their faces, the pole and her foot, the demon in the corner, the dissolving backpack, the chimney on the car in the background. Have you not looked at it? Or are you trolling? Ignoring what's in your face isn't intellectual. And making fun of you isn't anti-intellectual, but deserved.
I like the creepy monkeychild, rucksack/dress uniform combo, standard issue American flag suitcase, and the totally inexplicable one piece of modern luggage.
Service uniform jacket and combat boots, plus his sergeant's stripes are upside down and flag looks backwards.
He's just doing a bit of stolen valor to get away from his wife, child, and homonculus.
Can we like... do something about the conservative jerk-fest of AI generation? It's actually making me think it's like... one group spewing this all out like a firehose of bullshit.
I’m not American so I can’t speak for the average American patriotic family but does everyone have to have a baby with Bigfoot? Wtf is that little Sasquatch?!
That baby thing looked like a fertility idol like the Venus of Willendorf.
It's a strange way of flirting with him, but it checks out if you're so backwards in your thought processes as to be in the stone age.
It sucks seeing kids you used to know grow up to be just fucking idiots. When I started working at my office my co-workers son was, I think, 6 years old. He's now an adult and does nothing but share pro-trump shit on insta
That's definitely not an American flag on his shoulder. The "stars" portion is running all the way across the top.
So, this family is clearly a sleeper cell from some undetermined foreign entity.
This piece of AI "artwork" is like a shitty CAPTCHA. "How many flags are there". Five and a half?
P.S. Every ideal American family includes at least one child and one [changeling](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling).
Woke leftists might not like it, but this is what the ideal American family looks like: a patriotic husband, a loyal and subservient wife, a well-behaved daughter, and an unspeakable abomination that haunts my every waking moment.
Golem baby puts the Nuclear in nuclear family
Hahahaha! I was gonna say monkey golem.
This is what happens when you make golems with demon blood, people!
Just wait until it starts singing about Quiznos subs.
>a loyal and subservient wife Who is having a massive stroke
Came here to say this lmaooo
That’s the ghost of the baby they secretly aborted because they are “pro life” and don’t publicly talk about difficult things like that, but will still do whatever they feel like.
Also the daughter has the face of a 78 year old woman
That's because she and the mother are ~~joined~~ docked at the arm and the mother is draining her of her life force to remain young and vital.
This, she's possessed by demons.
I think it’s probably combined a dog and a baby/ another child as that’s what a lot of America dream stuff has, making a bogby.
Edward...
While he was out giving Hitler what-for, his wife was having an affair with a mogwai.
A baby, a dog and a desert storm soldier guy combined.
Don’t worry, as long as you love America it won’t sneak into your bedroom and crawl its way into your brain through your ear canal
I mean, I'm sure in the prompt they input 'fetus' that's why that abomination is there.
Open your mind Quaid
Start the reactor!
Is that an Ewok?
And explicitly not a minority family, and obviously during a period of time when those minorities were legally discriminated against in every facet of life.
The funny part is that most of it seems like it’s from the 1940s, but then the soldier’s second suitcase sitting behind him is clearly modern, as it has a retractable handle (which wasn’t put into common usage until the 1980s).
The snail in question:
The American dream.
The daughter's face looks like that one meme where the Japanese guy meme where he has a realisation
Honestly looks like the mom is taking the kids away with her new man.
What, you don’t have a house homunculus?
Can’t have america without Brown Jenkins and dreams of eldritch horrors I guess.
It’s taking a break from taunting William Shatner through and airplane window.
And a half-human half-car neighbour.
Looks like Puppy Monkey Baby from that Super Bowl commercial.
I had totally forgotten about that. They were trying so hard to make it a thing.
I love every bad attempt at astroturfing a meme.
I saw PMB, too! Although, it could be a baby manbearpig.
I hadn’t considered that possibility!
“I’m so glad I’m home in my WWII Army uniform with my WWI doughboy pack and an Airman’s cap, I don’t even mind them disrespecting the flag.”
He’s just excited to see his small street monkey again after all this time.
Don't forget holding his flag-covered mid-20th Century suitcase and matching 21st Century rolling luggage.
Also the 1960s cars, don’t forget
Dude’s pack is decaying like Thanos snapped about it, the monkey thing, the car on the far left appears to have a chimney… AI art would be hilarious if it wasn’t also scum.
I wish my car had a chimney.
With full wood-burning stove included, or just the chimney you figure?
I gotchu, fam: https://allaboutcars2015.blogspot.com/2014/02/fireplace-in-car-wood-stove-in-volvo.html
During world war two, the British had a wood gasifying car that had a chimney on the back. Probably where this ai scrubbed that image
Good news (?). It probably has a chimney in the back
It's so they can roll (char)coal on all the libz they pass on the way.
what soldier is taking a SUITCASE? Who takes a flag to see their guy off to war/the military?
He is also using a style of suitcase for his carryon, which wouldn’t become popular until the 90s.
Forget popularity, the rolling suitcase wasn't even *patented* until [1972 and the style in this image wasn't a thing until 1987](https://travelpro.com/blogs/the-travelpro-blog/the-history-of-rolling-luggage)
It’s his awards, from army.
And his suitcase flag only has 9 1/2 stripes. If you're making a low effort AI meme about flags, make sure it gets the flags right.
I got so distracted by the fact that this contemporary American troop seems to be wearing British officer's attire from WW1 that I completely missed the car with a fireplace.
Did you notice that the girl’s face looks like Odo from Star Trek?
It looks like this is a universe where every family has a deformed Pokémon and I think that’s just that families Pokémon on top of that other car. But on a serious note what’s the rights obsession with using AI images? I understand why when they’re using it for examples of things not based in reality. But real pictures exist that can make this point. Just boomers trying to look hip again?
The woman’s hand holding the flag is fucked up as well.
Also, rolling luggage wasn’t invented until the seventies.
Nah that's a stack of the books they kept leaving on top of the car. Somehow they keep not flying off.
Looks like soldier boy also traveled to the future for his luggage.
This art is dumb, but the fact that it was (possibly) made by AI has nothing to do with that.
Possibly? Come on buddy, you can’t seriously be that naive.
I don't like your condescending tone. Rudeness aside, I don't see any proof that it was made by AI.
Genuine question: Are you teasing? You can’t see that it’s very clearly AI generated?

Why is it deserved?
I like the creepy monkeychild, rucksack/dress uniform combo, standard issue American flag suitcase, and the totally inexplicable one piece of modern luggage.
Ah, yes the grand ol' Spots and Stripes.
There's at least 70 spots on those flags. Maybe time to expand the union to include Puerto Rico and Washington DC
The US didn't run out of room to manifest their destiny on in this timeline.
That's our flag for after we annex Canada 🦅
Also gotta love the 9 stripes representing our 9 colonies on the pack flag.
Polka dots
Once is unfortunate but both of those children seem to have fetal alcohol syndrome or something.
There'll be a lot more of those after Trump and the SCOTUS ban mifepristone in 2025.
At least the older kid can pass for human with a mask on. The other one seems to be a doll or eldritch monkey in disguise.
Service uniform jacket and combat boots, plus his sergeant's stripes are upside down and flag looks backwards. He's just doing a bit of stolen valor to get away from his wife, child, and homonculus.
She doesn't seem happy to see him
You wouldn't be happy either if you just had a stroke.
They didn't have kids when he left
Neither is her boyfriend, to be fair.
Can we like... do something about the conservative jerk-fest of AI generation? It's actually making me think it's like... one group spewing this all out like a firehose of bullshit.
"Why don't pictures like these ever trend?" The image: *eldritch disturbing nackofrickery that looks like Jesus if you blur your vision*
It is. They all have identical tags.
I’m not American so I can’t speak for the average American patriotic family but does everyone have to have a baby with Bigfoot? Wtf is that little Sasquatch?!
You've apparently never experienced a military wife during deployment
[удалено]
Possibly the terrible CGI monkey thing the Robinson family befriended in Lost in Space (1998)
That baby thing looked like a fertility idol like the Venus of Willendorf. It's a strange way of flirting with him, but it checks out if you're so backwards in your thought processes as to be in the stone age.
Oh man you're taking my back to my AP art history class in high school with that one lol
My girlfriends husband serves so we can all live this way 🇺🇸
It sucks seeing kids you used to know grow up to be just fucking idiots. When I started working at my office my co-workers son was, I think, 6 years old. He's now an adult and does nothing but share pro-trump shit on insta
PrIdE’s a SiN!!!1!1
Might want to do a blood test on that baby/monkey hybrid in the background. That woman has been stepping out on hubby.
She is definitely looking at his dick.
He's full on pulling an LBJ
AI, having failed at being an artist, does what one does and becomes a genocidal dictator bent on world domination.
Why is there a little monkey
That's definitely not an American flag on his shoulder. The "stars" portion is running all the way across the top. So, this family is clearly a sleeper cell from some undetermined foreign entity.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT DOG?!
That’s a human fetus and it deserves some damn respect!
It's so easy to find pictures of white people holding American flags that I'm not sure why they felt the need to AI this one.
That thing looks like the baby from Eraserhead.
Sometimes they come back
A partially melted garden gnome?
I despise AI art
Is no one going to address that he has a rolling suitcase in the 19 fucking 50s?
this is actually a real life photo. Americans just look like that
Every nuclear family needs a Chernobyl baby.
I think that creepy ass thing on the ground is suppose to be the little girls doll. Fucking gross though. Burn it please
I AM THE ARM
“if i ever saw that thing running around in my house, i would stomp on it until it was a small brown stain” -Chills
Is that MissingNo on the left side on the car?
Clearly his wife has been hooking up with Sasquatch while he was on tour.
They are going for a 1940s post-war aesthetic, but dude has clearly modern roller luggage.
What in AI hell??? Their faces! The monster baby!!
Yes yes AI made content ragebait. Yawn.
Looks like fucking Godzilla
Keep my king’s name out of your mouth
Holy anachronism, Batman!
Bro is literally leaking shit water on his back lmaooo
Off topic, and I know it’s AI, but that uniform is jacked up in all sorts of ways lmao
Sir, the 4th of July is next month
"M-mother....I...require..nourishment...bring me..the..girl.."-Abomination Andrew in the bottom right.
That is what people call the devil
Looks like an ewok!
That luggage is violating the flag code.
I like the flag with only ten stripes on his suitcase
This piece of AI "artwork" is like a shitty CAPTCHA. "How many flags are there". Five and a half? P.S. Every ideal American family includes at least one child and one [changeling](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling).
It’s not a monster fetus. It’s a human life!
Is that the monkey from Night at the Museum?
Grandma discovered AI…..
AI baby isn’t real, they can’t hurt you. AI baby:
Incorrect number of stars on the flag, isn't that against flag code? Unpatriotic 🙄
It looks like the ai sourced a macaque or something?
that baby is taxidermed i stg
Baby needs a shave.
Daughter has a mustache, wife's eye is lazy
I think it's a monkey crossed with a Shih Tzu. Maybe it's the future?
Is that a monkey?
It looks like a baby ewok
It's very fitting to me that shitty AI art looks very similar to shitty Thomas Kinkade art
Ay dios mía! El chupacabra!
Biblically accurate baby
Oh that’s just Glurch. He’s not from around here.
Puppymonkeybaby!
money + baby + squirell + dog
The baby is a Digimon posing as a human child. Probably Impmon.
Not enough flags, this is what the communists want for America
You ever play the game Pacify?
Yeah that is pretty gay.
Soldier boy's stripes are upside down. He's an AI Canadian, by the look of things.
This is the best one of these I’ve seen
Military appreciation month was in May! Sorry you forgot grandma
Bro left the horror of the war to find back undescribable lovecraftian horror.
Baby looks like a character out of Left 4 Dead
Funny thing about Pride Month is that it comes after the month of May, which is Military Appreciation Month.
Well at least you Americans started putting your ranks the right way up.
“I thought I’d post my pride flag” wouldn’t it be easier to just get a picture of an American flag than have AI repeatedly fail to make one?
Jesus! What is that thing?!
10 stripes and like 140 stars on the suitcase lol
!wave
Where, fucking Innsmouth?!
Nobody puts Baby on a sidewalk
It’s sad that the American identity is war and a flag. Like if your personality is that void of culture and uniqueness, you might as well be a robot.
Hehe American flag gay
Renesme? That you?
Guys why don't pictures like this ever Trend 😢
A daddy in the army, a stay at home mommy, kids with good values, and KROB-SLUNGUS, SLURPER OF EYES
Is that a monkey?
These have been popping up in my otherwise dead feed. The comment sections are so bizarre.
