The latest AI experiment has unleashed a new horror upon the world. No, it's not a robot uprising or a sentient chatbot with a taste for chaos. It's something far more terrifying: One Piece fan art.
Yes, you read that right. The beloved pirate anime has been the subject of an AI-generated art project. And let's just say the results are not for the faint of heart.
These digital abominations are the stuff of nightmares. They make your typical DeviantArt reject look like a masterpiece. And it's not just the quality that's the problem; it's the subject matter. The AI seems to have a particular fascination with grotesque body horror. We're talking limbs twisting in ways that defy anatomy, eyes bulging out of sockets, and tongues that could double as tentacles.
One fan, who wished to remain anonymous, described the experience of viewing the AI-generated images as "like staring into the abyss. It stares back at you, and it has One Piece characters with elongated limbs and too many eyes."
Other fans have taken to social media to voice their concerns. Some are outright calling for the AI to be shut down, citing the trauma it has inflicted upon them. Others are more measured, calling for more oversight and regulation of AI-generated content. After all, if this is what an AI can do with One Piece, who knows what other franchises it could ruin?
We reached out to the creators of the AI project for comment, but they declined to speak with us. It's unclear what their intentions were with this project, but it's safe to say they probably didn't expect to be causing such a stir.
In the meantime, we advise all One Piece fans to stay away from any AI-generated art they come across. It's just not worth the risk of having your eyeballs melted out of their sockets.
And if you're feeling brave (or foolish), we've included a few examples of the AI-generated art below. Don't say we didn't warn you.
We apologize in advance for any sleepless nights these images may cause. Stay safe, folks.
