Fun fact: AI creates about 34 million images every single day

Let’s face it — humans love creating. Whether it’s cave paintings, oil masterpieces, or posting selfies with too many filters, we’ve always found ways to express ourselves. But now? Now we have AI doing the heavy lifting. In fact, AI image generation is so popular that it’s starting to feel like these algorithms are the world’s busiest artists. Move over Picasso, the bots are here.

Here’s a fun fact: AI creates about 34 million images every single day. That’s 1.4 million images per hour. Roughly 23,333 images every single minute. By the time you’ve read this far, AI has probably whipped up a couple thousand more. Somewhere, a server farm is sweating. (Source)

What’s more, over 15 billion images have been generated since 2022. That’s billion with a “B.” For perspective, that’s enough images to wallpaper the moon (don’t fact-check that). And most of these are based on Stable Diffusion, the reigning champ in text-to-image magic. (Source)

Here’s a glimpse of what happens when AI gets creative — from surreal cityscapes to glowing human abstractions. Is panda playing poker? No not this time, but it’s still worth a look!
