Classical Good Looks

To briefly step away from fantasy and SF, here are some "literary classics" put out by Wordsworth Classics.









This one is at least _interesting_.

So awful! Wow. Is generative AI responsible?

OMG hilarious. The Alice in Wonderland is strangely apt.

It's got to be AI. You can do that to public domain books.

Some Photoshop/editing seems to have been done, since everyone has correct fingers, and Alice particularly seems to have been pasted in separately. The tree also doesn't go off into incoherence. Although the White Rabbit's face and hand are pure AI. It looks like the version you'd see if you were on the same chemicals as Jefferson Airplane was on the song.

The Portrait doesn't look old and degenerated enough, but maybe it's the beginning of the story?

The look on Raskolnikov's face made me LOL.

It's pretty clear that Meg and Jo have decided to kill Mr Laurence for his money.

And Ethan Hawke doing a threesome with those two hardly seems 'innocent' to me.

>5 NomadUK: GSS! Delightful interpretations.

Meg and Jo are definitely up to no good here. Beth and Amy seem down with the plan as well. Amy is dreaming of all the art supplies she'll be able to buy. Beth is planning to get herself some expensive yarn.

Some of the heads seem pasted on to me, like Beth, Ethan and Alice.

Great find, Bruce.

I've gone to the original page, and yikes. Some are even worse.

The article author's comment on C&P really amused me. And his description of Alice is spot-on, particularly as regards her and the rabbit. And dig the arm length on Tom and Huck.
