Last year the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology drew media attention over the inclusion of an AI-generated image depicting a rat sitting upright with an unfeasibly large penis and too many testicles.
I must admit that made me laugh a little.
collapsed inline media
Rat (glad that was labelled) appears to have inbuilt zipper for accessing organs - not actually necessary to access his fourth testical tho, that one perches at the edge of his ball-pouch. I like the one label that just says 'dck'.
Yep everything seems in order here. Thanks AI.
Something creepy about this, though.
That's just like... your opinion, man.
