UPDATE: My Top 10 AI Images of 2023 - - - - - - - - - - - #1 Moldy Bread Monster

- - - - - UPDATE - - - - -
Needed to update with the latest version of the Moldy Bread Monster. All AI generators have been updated several times since the creation of the first image -- so this is now the latest version circa January 2024. I mean, this newer guy is actually made of BREAD! The former dude was more wool-like.

Love, love, love this updated version. Much better mold.
The goofy expression has a very Adventure Time/Gravity Falls vibe.
The red veins in the eyes are simply priceless. Bravo, AI -- Bravo!

NOTE: These images were not arranged in any level of greatness or priority. I’m gathering the 10 images I feel represent my best AI results in 2023. I hope you find them amusing, interesting, and inspiring too.

Behold, the slice welding Moldy Bread Monster

Meet the Moldy Bread Monster, born on the day there was a half loaf of moldy bread in our kitchen, and I REALLY wanted a sandwich! (Hate when that happens.)

The MidJourney prompt was simple, though I added the word “dancing.” The dancing wasn't quite captured, which often happened with version 4 back then. But the character's uniqueness, especially with it seeming upset about a slice of “good bread” in its left hand gave me a good laugh. (Especially since I was in a similar situation mere hours ago, complaining and holding a “bad slice’ of moldy bread.)

Runner-Up AI images of 2023

Here are a few of the AI images I generated during 2023 that I felt were interesting enough but didn't make the top 10. 

Manic Santa Claus was a popular trend during December, this one was my weirdest

Using someone else's prompt, I edited it to portray Billy Elish as a warped version of the Poison Ivy character, (mostly picked her because she used to sport green hair.) This came out much better than expected.

Red Sonja fighting a gigantic viper creature

This one came out of nowhere! I believe I simply asked for a "Vivid Colorful Santa Hat" for photos of pet costumes. I have NO IDEA why this was the image I got instead. Disturbing.

Another disturbing image, this was "a photo of Humpty Dumpty circa 1910."  

A beautiful fantasy city scene. I especially like the warm lighting in the foreground and the insanely doom-inspiring details of the towers in the distance.
