Ah, AI—is it taking over the world? Do we know? Better yet, do we care? By now, you’ve probably heard of artificial intelligence and its many uses, be they making random, weird photos, creating deep fakes, stealing humans’ jobs, writing tomes, and more.
In this article, we will show you the most bizarre, hilarious AI photos in existence today, most of which were posted on Facebook, Instagram, X, and other social media platforms. Get ready to laugh, get ready to cry—these AI pictures are deranged and unhinged in just the right way.

1. Brad Pitt Ball Pitt

We all know who Brad Pitt is—star of Fight Club, Bullet Train, Babylon, Meet Joe, Troy, and more. He’s been in Hollywood since the nineties, and he has also become the star of many deranged AI photos.

Such as this one, titled simply: A Brad Pitt Ball Pitt. This concept doesn’t use store-bought balls from Amazon; instead, it suggests a ball pit filled with different Brad Pitt heads. A work of art? We think so.

2. Bring Your Baby to Work Day

Bringing your baby to work is a fun concept, but it’s really only one that works when you have an office job. In this AI series, which is rather absurd, these images take “Bring Your Kid To Work Day” to a whole new level.

Divers, chefs, hockey players, and miners would all have quite a time if they tried to bring their babies to work. Though babies are cute and adorable (most of the time), this AI series shows why BYKTWD is only for certain people.

3. From the Ocean We Came

If you’ve ever watched the movie Annihilation on Netflix, this is for you. “From the ocean we’ve come, to the ocean we will return,” was the idea behind this AI series, created by John Lemke. It’s eerie, frightening, and undeniably cool.

According to Nature, we all did, technically, come from the ocean, says one theory. Humankind evolved from a large-mouthed, no-anus-having, wriggling, baggy sea creature that lived around 540 million years ago. That rather unflattering critter is our earliest known prehistoric ancestor.

4. Seinfeld in the 1900s

Seinfeld was one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, airing on NBC and WBD to millions of viewers. Jerry Seinfeld, the creator of this comedy about nothing, now has a net worth of around $950 million, thanks to the show’s royalties.

But, what if Seinfeld hadn’t taken place in the inimitable 1990s, but at the turn of the century. That’s what this bizarre AI photo series by Joshua Mario James considers and wow, is it wacky. Steam trains, women’s suffrage, industrialization, and more would’ve all been the topics bandied about by Jerry and his pals.

5. Miley Cyrus Buying Herself Flowers

“I could by myself flowers, write my name in the sand.” When you see those lyrics, you already know what song we’re talking about. “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus was the 2023 hit of the summer, playing on every radio station from here to there.

In this Lucas Bostwick AI creation, we can see Miley actually buying herself flowers, as the song suggests. She doesn’t need her ex-husband to buy her any flowers or write her name in the sand—she’s good on her own.

6. Churning Man

Well, Burning Man would certainly have a lot less notoriety if it was full of Amish people and their values, that’s for sure. This strange-fingered AI image showcases Churning Man, a Burning Man festival populated by naught but Mennonites.

Burning Man has no sponsors (suggesting so would be blasphemous), but it still manages to be a cash cow, making $46 million in revenue. Churning Man probably wouldn’t do as well…but it wouldn’t have any notoriety to it, either.

7. Ancient Egyptian Airlines

This is giving some serious Mummy vibes. The hit Universal movie was released in 1999, but it never covered what would happen if there was an Ancient Egyptian Airlines. This AI series has created such a concept, wowing us with just how bizarre it is.

Ancient Egyptian Airlines @boredpanda/Facebook
Mummies, stone statues, two Anubis pilots, and a plane that looks as though it barely got off the ground…such things are what you can expect from AEA.  Silver and copper coins would be the cost of a ticket, as Egyptians began using those to pay for things in 500 B.C.

8. Paralysis Demon

App Used: Midjourney
A Redditor posting his AI creation said that he was attempting to create a “Paralysis Demon,” by which we assume he meant a hallucination that people in a nightmare often believe they see standing at the foot of their bed or in the corner of their room.

Sounds terrifying, right? But what’s not terrifying is Midjourney taking that concept and turning it into a literally paraplegic demon. While the demon is scary-looking, the wheelchair looks like it was bought from a regular old medical supply company, which takes the edge off the image.

9. Prompt: Male Astronaut Looking Upward Toward Light Source

App Used: Midjourney (Possibly)
According to Muhammad Said, this photo’s creator, this editorial photograph’s prompt was specific. The prompt said a male astronaut, looking at a light source, with a 2001 Space Odyssey helmet. The AI got close…with one weird detail.

Prompt: Male Astronaut Looking Upward Toward Light Source Muhammad Said/Facebook
This man’s head is facing the wrong way, which makes this photo somehow creepier, as though this astronaut is a secret alien. One of the comments on social media joked, “Rumor has it that someone on the [NASA] team is an owl.”

10. Jordan Playing at Aged Care Centre

Michael Jordan is one of the most successful athletes of all time, and his net worth is in the billions, thanks to his successful basketball career and lucrative deals with Nike and other companies.

He’s sixty now, and this AI series takes a look at what could happen if he went to an aging facility and absolutely dominated the other residents in a game of basketball. None of them stand a chance against the former Bulls king and his wicked fadeaways.

11. Kandachella, 1923

Freddie Mercury and Taylor Swift would take center stage at Kandachella in 1923, according to this AI series by Ritchie Wijaya. This music fest is taking place in Kanda, India, hence the outfits and general vibe of the photo.

This tiny, historic town would be totally overwhelmed by the presence of such musical icons. In ’23, the world was going through a lot of shocking stuff, including the first baseball game ever played professionally, the Kanto earthquake, Mt. Etna’s eruption, insulin’s breakthrough, and more.

12. Old and Weird Canned Food

Alien Goo and Mini Green Frogs—two canned foods we can expect to see on the shelves never. This AI project took the idea of weird, vintage canned food and took it to an entirely bizarre, new level (as AI is wont to do).

We’ve got to admire the hands in these images, as AI is known for not doing hands very well. As for alien goo and green frogs in sauce, we just have to admire, once again, the creativity of AI developers and their prompts.

13. What It’s Like to Live in England

App Used: Midjourney (Possibly)
England is a lovely country, despite the fact that it went about conquering half the world at one point. That said, as with any country, England still has the things it is stereotypically known for, including fish and chips, Paddington Bear, and Dr. Who phone booths.

This AI series, which comes courtesy of Ana Kerie, showcases what it’s really like to live in Europe. Between gigantic Paddingtons attacking phone booths and zombified chip consumers, this AI country is a total hellscape.

14. How Canadians Go Camping

According to radio station 101.5 The Hawk, it’s true that Canadians love camping. Around 33% said that camping is the best way to get away from crowds, with 40% saying that campfires are the best part about the whole outdoorsy affair.

Another thing Canadians love? Maple syrup, straight from the tree to the breakfast aisle of Walmart. This picture combines both concepts, showcasing a deranged Canadian camper going to absolute town on this stack of pancakes, as well as an overenthusiastic ice skater in short shorts.

15. Taylor Just Shakes it Off

App Used: Undisclosed
We already know that Swifties are obsessed with the Kansas City Chiefs, not because they care about football, but because Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end. Taylor Swift’s influence has been undeniable, as more people are watching football and buying Chiefs jerseys than ever.

The hubbub got an amusing twist with this AI photo, which showcases T-Swift taking the field with the team. “Are you ready for it?” was the photo’s caption, and we’re sure Swifties would let out an emphatic “YES!”
