Because AI art is shit at this kind of thing. Not incapable of, just absurdly fiddly to get obedience from. It’ll get you 75% of the way there, and then you actually need to know how to edit an image, which is where it lets you down.
Go ahead and try generating images of a family during benediction wearing ear bandages and you’ll find it really struggles with getting that last part right because it’s not typical subject matter.

Sure! There’s zero likelihood of this ever happening, but in the weird universe where it does you can probably sue them for coming around and shaving your dog too.
I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the “moon” and what the implications of its true nature are.

Space Truckers (1996) - Dennis Hopper, Charles Dance. Terrible movie with some wacky bullshit, cube pigs, neon space twinks, and a cyborg love prosthetic.
Moonfall (2022) - another classic from Roland Emerick where most of the movie is nonsense but there is a seed of a brilliant idea buried in there.
Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark (2014) - it starts with a giant shark catapulting a fishing boat from Manhattan to Giza, and gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Featuring Christopher Judge in one of his less believable roles.
