Move over weirdly-horny Lensa portraits — it seems the sad, deranged women of AI art have recently discovered yet another beloved internet pastime — laughing alone with salad.


On Sunday, March 19, Twitter user @metuiteme bravely ventured where no one under the age of 45 has in nearly a decade — Facebook — where they made a strange discovery: The ‘ol lettuce-based meme had undergone a horrifying bout of AI-ification.


“I found these AI-generated ‘women laughing with salad’ posted on FB and they are clearly the pinnacle of the genre,” they wrote alongside a series of truly terrifying images depicting flying lettuce, wide grins with far too many sets of teeth and one very suspicious tomato splatter that looked a bit too much like blood.




“I know *I* want to see these in an ad campaign,” they continued, adding three more nightmare-induing images.


Twitter, as it often does upon witnessing machine-made horrors beyond our comprehension, had a field day, taking to the platform to express their (very reasonable) terror, lamenting Ai’s demented sense of humor and even likening the images to Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice.
