Watch John Oliver marry a cabbage live on TV to capture the absurdity of A.I.-generated art:
While Open AI is researching responsible public deployment for the platform, Oliver and his show’s team took to Midjourney, one of many public-access A.I.s that have popped up recently, to demonstrate the power of the text-to-image phenomenon. And in the show’s consummately absurd fashion, they did this by envisioning a new Marvel protagonist named Roast Beef Superhero.
Daring to explore further to see the kinds of activities users envisioned Oliver engaging in, they discovered queries like “John Oliver bursting out of a can of Del Monte green beans” and “John Oliver commanding a hoard of elves to charge a potato.” As it turns out, one Midjourney user named “postpoopzoomies” is behind an oversized proportion of these imagined realities, including “John Oliver is an egg with a bad attitude so don’t mess with him or he will do to you what he did to Humpty Dumpty.”
The plot further thickened with an unexpected narrative thread that introduced Oliver to the hurdles still facing A.I. Apparently, postpoopzoomies teamed up with a user named Margaret to imagine a nine-part saga where Oliver starts growing cabbages in his apartment and throws them at children. In the tale, Oliver has a change of heart and actually marries the cruciferous vegetable.
