No reason. Just because. You can get AI image generators to spit out some amazing stuff by combining words that normally don’t mean anything. You can also ask for stuff like “the meaning of life” and it will give you some images. Invariably those will be of a person seen…
When you ask MidJourney for an old house, it usually gives you a medieval house in the southern German style like the one above. Sometimes it will be ruined and creepy. It’s a nice image but also it gets a little boring after you’ve seen a lot of them. So…
