From conjoined chickens to hotdogs with the interior of a tomato, it&apos;s a telling indicator of what looks like the sometimes horrifying output created by an AI image generation tool. And while some are slightly stomach churning, others are downright hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite thus far is a photo for a &#8220;Microwave Mug Chocolate Chip Cookie a la Mode&#8221; which shows a perfectly reasonable looking cup of presumably delicious dessert, if not for the chocolate chip cookie welded onto the side of the mug.
