About this Website
This website collects so-called AI fails and AI slops. Both refer to subpar AI-generated content (mostly images).
AI fails are characterized by obvious malfunctions. They usually reflect a limited training set. They thus reveal unintended structures behind the source's AI model, and they highlight that AI models lack a true "understanding" of the context. One may then see strange artifacts like oddly misspelled text, surreal object placements, anatomical mishaps (a person with 7 fingers), or other inconsistencies.
AI slops, on the other hand, refer to low-effort, spammy AI outputs that are often produced to flood social media platforms with the goal to attract maximum engagement.
While AI fails are often showcased when an AI model does something obviously wrong (often to make fun of them), AI slops are scolded since they are assumed to generate digital clutter and degrade the quality of online content.
As I follow the development of AI coding assistants and Large Language Models (LLMs; i.e., AI tools trained to generate outputs based on statistical patterns), I regularly come across AI-generated images on social media. Many of them include AI fails and AI slops. They seem instructive, as they make me reflect on my own reliance on these tools. While the AI tools' achievements are admirable, their erroneous outputs expose their limitations.
And sometimes, some of these so-called fails and slops are just fun to glance over, at times even poetic. I once wanted to browse a collection of such outputs to gauge what they tell me about AI in general, but after googling around and finding only scattered online fora, I thought I would create a small archive myself. A few minutes of delight or curiosity each day seemed like a worthy project. So here we go. Welcome to AI Fail and AI Slop.
