AI-generated images are exploding onto the Internet across every category. With the invention of DALL-E and DALL-E mini, it’s easier than ever to throw in a prompt and let the AI image generator go to town. Some of the creations are breathtaking and so true to life that it’ll put you in a panic about the robots taking over. Others are pure nightmare fuel, and what comes out in some AI-generated images makes it necessary to share to everyone you know because you just can’t be the only one to suffer.
AI-Generated Images with a Military Theme
VeteranLife put together a massive list of 100 AI-generated images with military themes for your viewing pleasure. We used a tool called formerly known as DALLE-mini, now called Craiyon, to bring these creations to the world. We broke them down into categories like historic moments, famous figures, bizarre situations, military traditions, and more. All of them, we assure you, are outright hilarious – some, disturbingly so.
Please enjoy these 100 AI-generated images from the brains of our team members as much as possible. At the very least, we hope that none of them make you cry.

57. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Trench Warfare
If he could win Mr. Universe five times, he could probably do some damage in the trenches.
58. Topo Gigio in World War 2
He’s an Italian cartoon mouse, but he’s still Italian. In WW2, he would have been right there on the front.
59. Rambo Driving a Boat
When you think of the military and boats, the first thing that comes to mind is Rambo, obviously. He’s a Veteran who needed some extra help there at the beginning of his film saga. Let’s hope he’s cruising through the waves to let off some steam in a relaxing manner this time.

We want to thank Bea Arthur for being a friend of the United States Military. Bea was a Veteran, and as we can see in this AI-generated image, she’s always taken her espionage game very seriously.
66. George Bush Hiding in Bushes
Bushes in bushes may be the amazing creation of AI image generators, but it also sounds like it should be a rhyme for children. Maybe it could be read in school during historic moments in American history.

Finally, the new season of Fortnite that we’ve all been waiting for — the political figures wearing the natural landscape special edition.

There’s really nothing that can be said about this one. It’s just straight up delicious absurdity.
