Having taken orders, Chinese factory must actually make massive AI slop gorilla sofas

I question the sanity of anyone that ordered one.

Maybe all those fairy tales whose moral lesson was “Be careful what you wish for” were onto something.

Not a GORILLA sofa. Nope. Not a GORILLA one.

So like the natural evolution of the bots that trawl social media offering custom tee-shirts to anyone who comments “that on a tee-shirt”, etc below an image post? That tracks.

Costs more to ship than to make?

Maybe. For many of those products shipping is included. I’m going to guess that they worked backwards on this. If it was priced at $7000 but didn’t exist yet, then they figured out how much they could spend on production, how much they could spend on shipping and how much profit they could make. The boss walked into the back and said “make this thing with supplies that cost less than a certain amount, keep the weight/dimensions under a certain size for shipping purposes, and do it in under a week.”

It’s a stretch but I think the world needs more bonzo dog doo dah band.

I concur. I’m tickled that the Bonzo’s Wikipage includes the line, “… if Stanshall’s later recollections are to be believed.”; which, I feel, captures the band’s scattergun approach.

Sir Henry at Rawlinson End is another fun Stanshall project with an unusual genesis.

I really enjoyed Neil Innes work too; especially his TV Series, “The Innes Book of Records”.

It looks hilariously unlike the AI-generated images. I expect the sort of long fake fur that matches the images is too expensive to profitably use (not to mention would actually be horrible on a couch).

I’ve been confused by the number of very clearly AI-generated products in ads for online shopping sites, and I always assumed they were just there to lure in shoppers, not that anyone would actually try to make them. (Most would be even more disappointing in reality than this is.) I’m guessing that’s normally the case, but when the interest threshold hits a certain point, anything becomes possible.
