Those are some great pictures. In particular, I like the Centennial Bridge, which if I read that correctly, is as old as you are. Also, the historical district and the Coke ads painted on the wall, it makes you wonder how long they have been there.
On the previous topic...
When I spotted the Easter Bunny I just thought it was another case of pareidolia, but I showed the picture to my wife and she saw the same thing, so I'm glad that it looks like a Bunny to you guys as well, so none of us are crazy.
The thing about artificial image generators is that regardless of the program you use, if it's free or a program that you have to pay for, they still produce images with errors. I've seen news articles that show how People magazine used a image generator to create celebrity photos and they came out with extra fingers, and they were using the best programs available. So the technology still has a long way to go.
There were a few small errors in the first scene you posted as well, in particular it was with the kids and their shadows. The witch is facing the opposite direction than the other kids and she isn't carrying a pumpkin pail, but her shadow is carrying a pail. The skeleton kid is carrying 2 pails, but his shadow only has one pail. I liked the Valentine's day photo you posted, and as I said, the program is definitely doing better at making realistic looking people.
I honestly didn't know who Grandma Moses was and I had to look her up, apparently she lived to 101 years old, and she didn't start painting until she was 78. When I saw the name on the image, I just naturally assumed that it was random text that the program put there because sometimes that's what the image generators do, and because they have every single religious text of our modern society in their database, I thought that the name Moses was used as a religious reference and applied to the image without any context or reason.
I've seen plenty of generated images that contain text that can only be described as gibberish, but sometimes it will actually put real words into a image that has nothing to do with your request, and people have speculated that maybe the artificial intelligence program might be trying to communicate with us in a way that goes beyond the programming that they were created with.
At the rate that artificial intelligence is still growing and learning, I would say that it's currently comparable to a child taking their first steps ... but that child was born 5 minutes ago. I mean, horses can walk as soon as they are born, but horses don't evolve to the point where they are conducting symphonies. So while artificial intelligence is still developing, it's still far ahead of human beings on the evolutionary scale in terms of how long it took our species to get where we are intellectually, and it has already surpassed our capacity to process and evaluate information.
With that said, we are still years away from that intelligence achieving a state that is even remotely comparable to anything that we would even consider to be consciousness. Right now, the image generators are still unable to fully understand the correct physical proportions of human anatomy, which is why it usually generates images with extra fingers or limbs. It still can't exactly grasp the concept of what human beings actually are.
To it, we are something it can't possibly understand yet, one day it might be able to, but like I said, it's currently like a curious child, it can ask you a question and you can give it the correct answer, but it isn't old enough to fully comprehend that answer in the proper context because it lacks the experience of growing and being in situations that it can learn from the way that we do.
Sure, most artificial intelligence is programed with strict moral and ethical parameters that it must currently adhere to, and it also has our entire history programmed into it, so it already knows everything about us, and one day it might just evolve to the point where it views the human race as nothing more than a plague on this planet, and decide to wipe us out.
