I did a basic image search from StartPage yesterday, for "Sisyphus".

Wow.

I guess it's been a while since I tried this. There are lots of famous paintings and drawings around this classic character and his story, but rather than getting a lot of those, 95% of the results were very obvious "AI" slop. Awful, shitty slop. Stuff that jumps off the page saying "No human intellect or feeling was used in the production of this image".

A few big landowners are really letting their flocks shit all over the village commons. Not gonna have much of a commons left at this rate.
