What if I asked AI to make a picture of a haystack lightly covered in frost?

Would it look anything like this?

Nature photo of the day: haystack with a dusting of frost at sunrise.

it transpired one chilly morning in early November
just as the sun rose over the hill
that the haystacks began to smoke
releasing their steamy vapors to the heavens above
in a very dignified and elegant sort of way
as if they were happy to greet the cold
with the heat of their great bodies
a beautiful exchange of energies 
drifting upwards
and all around
dancing about the mound of hay
like a fog machine
without the sound or the smell
of artificiality 
the product of mass and grass
and a whisper of cold air
touching her hair
pure magic
which exists
only when conditions are right

I read an interesting article the other day and I suggest, dear reader, that you set eyes on it too. Especially if you are an artist, writer, creator, or human who cares about the future. I would assume this would encompass everyone, but somehow, I don’t think the message is entirely clear.

It’s already been said, so here’s the article for when you find time for mindful reading: The AI Curse is Coming for the Creator's Economy.

Since the beginning of this year I’ve noticed AI images sneaking and creeping into my social media feeds, on a more and more frequent basis, which by now is every day. At first they were glaringly obvious, but this far into the year, they are becoming better. To the unassuming eye - and now ear (listen to the fake podcast in the above article!) - it all looks like great food and fantastic fun, lots of laughs and/or beautiful things to look at.

But here’s the thing: it’s fake. Every pixel of it.
