"MONEY: The Worst Human Invention" was 'created' by Braye S. (@nycework_braye@mastodon.social) using the text-to-image prompt at deepai.org.

Positioned in the right half of the visual, a black, silhouetted figure, standing, head bowed, waist and wrists wrapped in shackles. The ends of the chain are dangling from the figure's hands, almost touching the ground.
