AI Depicts ‘The Last Selfie on Earth’ And It’s Terrifying

TikTok user Robotoverloards has been showcasing what they think are the most interesting pieces of AI art, and a recent post has really caught the attention of the internet.

Simply using the prompt “selfie at the end of the world,” AI artists have conjured up some truly terrifying images.

And I’m not really sure what’s more horrifying, the fact that AI knows what scares us the most, or the fact that these images are compiled from real, existing images on the internet.

If you’re not familiar with how AI art works, it basically uses advanced algorithms, fed by text prompts entered by the user, to take hundreds or thousands of pieces of public images.

You can specify everything from the exact placement of your subject on the image, the final product’s aspect ratio, the art style, main color palettes, etc. 

And since the AI uses existing images, you have to know the right prompts to navigate the AI’s limitations. 

This image was made by me in Midjourney with that same simple prompt, “selfie at the end of the world.” I didn’t specify any other details and that’s what the AI produced.
