Generative AI is a useful tool for a variety of purposes. Especially making images of the absolute cutest characters, what’s not to like?
As a fun project we decided to see how AI generalizes people and horses from different countries around the world. There are a lot of countries, so we had to split it up regionally (we tried to get everyone). Today’s cute characters come from West Africa. It should also be noted that some of the images are affected by the Grok update (the style is quite different). Those made after the update can be identified by a watermark in the lower right corner.

What do You Think?
How did the AI do? It’s understanding of culture is obviously generalized, especially in smaller countries and island nations. However, no one can deny that these little tykes are as cute as can be.
