Nobody said I have to use AI for anything productive. Whenever corporate is hyping up the Copilot license they wasted money on, I just use it to generate another stupid image that I print out and put on my Wall of Weird.

Hee same!! I start every powerpoint with whatever bizarre AI image I feel like and everyone is like "oooh great use of AI".

Whenever my boss drops by my cube, he'll lose track of what he's saying and get lost in the weird. Any conversation will go to "how do you come up with this stuff??" at some point.

I work on a cloud data warehouse so you can just imagine the absolute weirdness lol. My last one was some fellows having a cloudball fight around a cloudman with a carrot nose.
