About The AI Photos
Why This Website Has Lots Of AI Sloths
The delightful digital denizens who make this website the visually unusual experience that it is were generated using the DALLE3 text-to-image AI model.
The human behind this website chose sloths both because he loves them (does anyone not?) but also because sloths are regarded by some as sort of icons of the sustainability movement.
For one, they’re kind of the reigning champions of the “consume less” movement, at least in the jungle. Less happily, they’re directly challenged by many of the dynamics that impact tries to confront, among them deforestation.
The addition to add the sloths wasn’t taken capriciously. Policy material about sustainability is often somewhat intimidating. At other times, the sometimes dire prognostics of humanity’s future are rather sobering, sometimes even depressing.
We think that these permanently cheery animals remind us why even when the battle might seem like climbing a mountain, it’s a fight that we must win. If not for our own sake, then for that of the planet and its many wonderful inhabitants.
Now and again, we’ll add some of them to this page for people who just enjoying looking at the cartoons.

Although nobody will mistake these generations for real (we think!?), it’s still best practice to attribute and specify the algorithm used (unless otherwise stated, DALLE3).
This AI generated picture of a sloth pointing to corporate graphics while an (all male) board looks on approvingly was created to help illustrate the danger inherent in allowing companies to self-report on sustainability metrics.
Message: Access To Clean Drinking Water
Few images feel as wrong as seeing a sad looking sloth 🙁
This image was created to communicate that many in the world do not have access to clean drinking water.

This visual was an attempt to highlight some of the ways in which climate change is creating unwished-for realities.
Here, we see one penguin applying suncream labelled SPF 50 onto another.
The penguin does not look thrilled by the prospect!
… these ones were just for fun!
