Oh my! Had so much fun making this! Had ChatGPT help me with a prompt with what it knows about me and ran it here in GPT Sunburst. Love it!

About this image

This playful vintage-style MAD magazine cover features classic MAD character Alfred E. Neuman alongside a stressed artist navigating absurd generative AI art workflow struggles. The warm, busy cartoon illustration leans into well-known AI art jokes including misshapen hands, endless revision requests, and the ubiquitous demand to add a cat to every generated image, with silly speech bubbles and cheeky handwritten gags scattered across the cover. Soft pink cherry blossom accents and retro faded print styling give the piece a charming, nostalgic comic book feel.

Are you even old enough to remember Mad Magazine? Because that's perfect! "Why is the origami on fire?!" made me laugh!

My new frustration with GPT is the constant inspiration posters- okay, it's fun, but not every time!

Thank you! 😊 I knew of Mad Magazine but I don’t ever recall reading it. Maybe a little young for it.

Thank you! 😊 It is circulating X right now, can't take credit for the idea.

Yeah, I’ve told it no words for some images but it still does it sometimes. It is frustrating.
