A TikToker asked Dall.E mini, the popular Artificial Intelligence(AI) image generator, what the last selfies on earth would look like and the results are chilling.

In a series of videos titled ‘Asking an Ai to show the last selfie ever taken in the apocalypse’, a TikTok account called ‘@robotoverloards’, shared the disturbing images.

Each image shows a person taking a selfie set against an apocalyptic background featuring scenes of a nuclear wasteland and catastrophic weather, along with cities burning and even zombies.

Dall.E mini (as in, Dali) is an image generator that uses artificial intelligence to make photos based on the text you put in. It’s a totally free, online tool and you can find it here.

The AI took social media by storm recently with people generating memes with its wild results.

The image generator is connected to an artificial intelligence that has, for some time, been scraping the web for images to ‘learn’ what things are. Often it will draw this from the captions attached to the pictures.

With the exisiting imagery on the internet for the words ‘apocalypse’ and ‘selfie’ it makes sense why Dall.E thinks that the end of the world will look a certain way.

The algorithms inside the AI eventually find patterns within the images and can associate them with captions. Because it then knows what an image ‘should’ look like, it can generate it from whatever captions the user puts in.

Dall.E mini is based on GPT-3, a program devised by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research and deployment company founded by Elon Musk.

GPT-3 (which stands for generative pre-training) uses a vast data bank of English sentences and highly powerful computer models (called neural nets) to spot patterns and learn its own rules of how language operates (it has 175 billion rules of its own making).
