Author’s Choice Bloopers

This image is one of my favorite AI bloopers. I asked for a image of Grams wearing one of Layton’s $450 hoodies (it’s a thing), with an incensed Layton, who has not only caught her in his hoodie, but also holding his prized wooden spoon. Vanessa was to be looking on in the background with an amused smirk on her face.

The image was generated by Marketing Auren-Generation 3 (M.AU-3G), who never did quite master the concept that sometimes, size really does matter.

Notice our gremlin-sized Grams and Layton’s disappearing legs. And the fact that Vanessa (none of her physical features are correct) would tower over Layton.

Case #427-C – Sweet
Tea & Sabotage

Dead? Really, Auren? We don’t want to kill off Grams. She’s our comic relief character. Besides, she makes a killer cobbler! And she still has more meddling in her future. There are five Graham siblings.

Case #512-L – Getting Hammered While Baking Cobbler

Is it just me, or does this image have some crazy “Get-off-my-lawn” vibes? And let’s not overlook the hammer growing out of Grams’ shoulder. Definitely not the happy Grams we love.

Case #686-G – Randome Hair Rollers & Gpoonpocalypse

Ring-a-ding-ding! We have a winner! Grams with her “I’m not even sorry” grin. And Auren almost managed to spell all the words correctly. Do we even want to know what Gpoon smugggling is?

Last Seen: Raiding Layton’s hoodie drawer.

Known Alias: The Southern Snarknado.
