A mailout for an online arts directory called Glartent, featuring an AI-generated picture of three people sitting at a laptop, engaged in a creative task. The woman on the left is holding her phone and looking over it at the laptop screen. She appears to have the correct number of arms and fingers. The man on the right is operating the laptop trackpad with his left hand. His right hand disappears up the shirt of the man in the centre, who is holding his phone in his left hand and operating the laptop's trackpad with his right hand. His hand and wrist do not join up with the rest of his arm, and the fingers on his hand are weirdly distended and look like noodles. On the desk are various pots full of paintbrushes and an antique camera from the early 20th century, mounted on a modern desktop camera stand and apparently in use as a livestream camera. In the background of the shot is a fourth person, a bearded man, who clearly has three arms. He is wearing a grey denim shirt from his chest downwards, and a dark grey-green blazer from his chest upwards. The text surrounding the picture extols the virtues of AI and how it can benefit the reader's arts organisation.
"We are an arts directory using AI! See how great AI is! It can make things like this picture, where two men are jointly operating a laptop with one hand each! And one of those hands isn't joined to their body! And the guy in the background has three arms! AI is so great! Join us!" #ummmnothanks
