Typical American: Food Culture

If there’s one thing that’s clear about this exploration it’s that artificial intelligence associates food with Americans, lots of food, really big food, usually fried and sugar-coated food, the AI knows our weakness as a nation. These selections are from hundreds of results where food is a prominent feature of the resulting generation, sometimes the food is the only subject depicted, but frequently a single human is sitting in front of a table loaded with edibles.
