Thanks, I hate it.

I mean it makes sense, surely you can train an AI to make images that humans find repulsive.

I wonder what useful applications this has though as I can’t imagine very many people would be willing to pay for images that gross them out.

I agree, they're awful. But on the other hand the horror market exists so somehow people enjoy seeing things like this (in certain moods).

Yeah maybe there is something useful here for the gaming industry?

A typical horror movie only has a few seconds or minutes of footage of the actual gross horrifying stuff.

Games on the other hand… I bet someone would be willing to pay for an endless stream of unique gross monsters to kill.
