This is not the AI singularity that was promised to me by SF literature! CW: AI slop printed on a Christmas gift bag #AI #slop #Christmas

A red Christmas gift bag in a supermarket shelf. The image printed on the bag is obvious AI slop, depicting a Santa and a young lady in red winter coats, looking up in different directions. The lady has a white collar that looks like a mix of a beard and a cupcake liner, a dislocated arm, and a brown present pack sticking to her coat.
