I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.
The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.
