That moment my AI art prompt went full horror mode

I was making a peaceful forest scene for my bedroom wall last Tuesday using Midjourney. My prompt was something like "calm forest stream with soft sunlight" and the first result showed a tree with eyeballs growing out of the bark instead of leaves. I sat there staring for a solid minute before I cracked up and saved it to my nightmares folder. Anyone else get those random creepy glitches that somehow look more artistic than what you actually wanted?

Eyeballs instead of leaves? That's genuinely unsettling.

Read a thing about how these tools just amplify whatever tiny glitch is in their training data.
