More than being tools to churn out images, artificial intelligence (AI) art generators have been catalysts for a bevy of art trends, including one where people dreamed up trippy optical illusions and another that imagined pets as animals from Disney or Pixar films.
The operative word today is “more” because this next craze truly overwhelms. Spotted by venture investor Justine Moore, the trend builds upon ChatGPT’s ability to keep a conversation going and its fairly recent integration with DALL-E 3, its sister app under the OpenAI family. Through the chatbot, ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers can talk to the language model to generate images without leaving the app.
According to Moore, users have been asking ChatGPT to conjure up progressively more exaggerated versions of a control image. For instance, u/dulipat on Reddit got the tool to make a bowl of spicy ramen even spicier in every subsequent image.
To set the ball rolling, you’ll first ask ChatGPT to generate a desired image. With every result you get, just respond that you want more of a certain object or its attributes. For example, with an illustration of a beach ball on a beach, you could use the prompt, “add more beach balls,” then “more,” and “still not enough.”
DesignTAXI experimented with the feature by requesting “a box of donuts” and asking for increments of the sweet treats with every generation.
When the tool was nudged even further (“Come on, you can do more than this”), ChatGPT did not disappoint and delivered what it termed “a surreal abundance of donuts, creating a wonderland of donuts.”

In the spirit of the holidays, we also tried generating uglier versions of an “ugly Christmas sweater.” Instant regret. You’re not ready for the next example. No one will ever be.

This maximalist trend is reminiscent of the ‘Expanding Brain’ meme, in which a person’s brain size is envisioned to grow larger across a series of panels.
To recover from what you just saw, here are more applications of this AI art trend that’ll serve as cranial palate cleansers.
