The silly side of AI

I often mention Freegle on here; it’s a web-based system where you can offer unwanted things or ask for something someone else may have going spare. Recently they seem to have ‘upgraded’ the system, so now if you don’t have a photo of the thing you are offering, an AI-generated image will automatically be generated. Much of the time this produces a picture that is at least recognisable as somehow related to the item in question, but this one has me stumped. Someone posted an 'Offer’ message entitled ‘Brugges map’ (which I assume was supposed to be a map of Bruges in Belgium). The picture shown is the AI-generated image that accompanied it. I have absolutely no idea what this is meant to be! Any ideas?

It is artwork titled "The Terrasphere" by artist Isabelle Gosling. It's a concept design often used in video games or animated films.

Really? It looks as if it's made from a stack of old newspapers!

@Fleura Yes, I might tease people but I won't knowingly lie to anyone.

AI is still developing..I guess you will start getting better results after some time. AI can indeed be confusing. I have no idea what that is
