AI Slops & AI Fails

Close-up of a man's elegant outfit: olive green blazer, red-and-white striped shirt, necktie, white pochette—and an incongruously placed small green handbag with white polka dots.

An elegant gentleman with a handbag no one asked for

Finally, an example of my own! This gentleman's outfit was supposed to capture timeless elegance with an olive green jacket, a striped shirt, a necktie, and a white pochette. That's the composition I wanted. But since the first image turned out a bit stiff, I asked the AI model to "add a natural flow", the algorithm apparently took some liberties. Suddenly, a green handbag with white polka dots appeared. It's beautifully misplaced, but somehow, it works (if you imagine that this man is carrying his wife's handbag?). A reminder that AI's sense of fashion still has a mind of its own.
