The first thing people saw when they searched Google for the artist Hieronymus Bosch was an AI-generated version of his Garden of Earthly Delights, one of the most famous paintings in art history.

Depending on what they are searching for, Google Search sometimes serves users a series of images above the list of links they usually see in results. As first spotted by a user on Twitter, when people searched for “Hieronymus Bosch” on Google, it included a couple of images from the real painting, but the first and largest image they saw was an AI-generated version of it.

    Which perfectly exposes the problems of showing AI slob to people who try to learn and extend their horizons.

      It’s just a painting, it’s not exactly science or history or philosophy or any knowledge that can extend one’s horizons, it’s more about a choice of mobile wallpaper, and I’m not enough of a consoomer “slob” to care about that.

        By “expanding ones horizons”, do you literally mean increasing your wallet size? This is a very musk brained comment.
