Images generated by Midjourney artificial intelligence have recently caused panic in the US. Hobby Lobby, the popular chain dedicated to selling products for creative projects and crafts, was targeted and boycotted by a large number of customers following a series of images that went viral on Facebook.
The 'photos' depicting a statue of Baphomet and a series of decorations representing satanic iconography sent the social media audience into a panic and they immediately flocked to the comments section to express their indignation.
As mentioned earlier, the photographs were created thanks to Midjourney, and subsequently posted with the intention of provoking a reaction from the firmly Christian clientele that usually buys from Hobby Lobby.
The impact of artificial intelligence on the social sphere is clearly visible in such situations.
