I asked Microsoft's image creator to create "Godzilla in a 512k Mac game" and while this is not what I asked for, I can't help but be impressed.

Well AI might destroy mankind but at least we had this.

Worth it.

At first I read it as "Weird Al might destroy mankind" and was extraordinarily confused 😂

He might! Would be one of my preferred endings.

Yeah, if we're going to go extinct anyway, we might as well have some fun doing it! You just KNOW Weird Al would be able to come up with a way of murdering us all so delightfully silly that we'd all enjoy it 😂

That’s the secret ending. We haven’t unlocked it yet

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend? You think this party is the pits?

Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits

The monkeys in the Pentagon are gonna cook our goose

Their finger's on the button, all they need is an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see

We'll all be crispy critters after World War III

There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide

When they drop the big one, we all get fried

Come on, boys and girls, sing along, okay?

People can say that AI art isn't art, but this is an artistic masterpiece.

It's beautiful. I've looked at this for 5 hours now.

It's time dilation. You were so profoundly affected that, even though I only put it up two hours ago, it became five hours through pure passion.

I'm impressed how well the neural network immitated the dithering, seeing as it almost certainly had all 256³ colours available

Channelling Blue Öyster Cult:

Go Go Godzilla!

After seeing this:

No No Godzilla!

It exceeded every expectation. This is definitely gojira, it's a Mac 512k game, and he's giving a trademark radiation blast out his cloaca. What's not to like?

go ahead and print this on some hoodies for sale please.

I'm getting slight Mecha Godzilla vibes.

But that image is just fabulous. Even Godzilla seems a bit at a loss from the situation.

"Why is this happening??"

Godzilla, when you eat a person, you eat everything that person ate. The office tower you just devoured just had a taco Tuesday special in the Cafe.

You know, people talk about Godzilla eating people, but I can't recall a time he ever did. He usually just fries them with his nuclear breath.

I remember Godzilla vs King Kong from 1962. Godzilla breathed fire on King Kong, and King Kong didn't like that so he reached down, ripped up a tree, and stuffed it root ball first down Godzilla's throat.

Movies have gone downhill ever since.

I remember as a kid seeing that on TV and getting upset and shutting it off when Godzilla started losing. I later found out that the US version edited the original Japanese one in which Godzilla won. Typical US propaganda!

Also, King Kong is like 50 feet tall and Godzilla is 300 feet, so he'd just step on him and move on.

I didn't really care it's just cramming the tree down his throat was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen in my life.

Guess I'm thinking more Lizzie from rampage. I honestly get them mixed up.

Godzilla's just too damn big for eating people or climbing. He towers over most buildings.

Lizzie has always been my favorite! Wah-wah-wah (eating people sound)

Planet Godzilla:

Godzillas living a peaceful live

One Godzilla takes a major fart

Takes off with fire coming out his arse like a rocket

Has escape-velocity

Flies through space for a long time

Saves up his farts

Homes in on earth

Lands like a moon lander

Earth: Major news breaks out. 

What could it be that just destroyed LA.

It might be an alien spacecraft.

It doesn't look like an aircraft to me. It looks like it is the alien itself.

It is godzilla. 

Now live to a reporter on site. What can you tell us?

It looks like Godzilla. But it has fire coming out it's arse. It's like, ... It's like, ... a Fart-Zilla

Fart-Zilla destroys many more houses. 

Society at some point finds out that Fart-Zilla actually is Vegan, and that it only eats beans, and that it forgot to soak the beans in the water before eating them. Which is a major teaching moment, to always soak your beans for 12 hours before you cook them, so you don't become fart-zilla.

I like to think that in a few years, an AI can turn this shitty story into a wonderful, emotional, awe-inspiring video. 

Just FYI, this is the part where you explain what the hell a 512k game is.

Not 512k game, 512K Mac game.

Jeez, kids today need to know their computer history.

See, I'm not that old, my middle school typing classes were on Mac Classics not ancient hardware like the 512K.

Ok, but the 512K was kind of a game changer. It turned the Mac from a novelty to a competitive machine. Which made GUIs more popular, which in turn led to Windows as well, and Linux desktops and everything else.

So just saying, I'd call that a "Mac 512k game", since it's called a Mac 512k. Word order matters. I'll admit, I'm 41, and I'd never heard of a 512k before.

Old Macintosh computer, although it didn't have a color screen...

where is this image creator?

I mostly use it to put Godzilla in ridiculous situations (as part of a thread on a forum).

Damn some of these are pretty good. No ass flames though so 9/10.

I love that all the text is garbled nonsense except for "RAMPAGE."

Haha my prompt did say Godzilla in the video game RAMPAGE for DOS. So I guess it wanted to make it extra clear that it was RAMPAGE.

Slightly higher resolution

Can't tell if Godzilla is thrilled or horrified that he's shitting fire.
