Hit 500 AI mashups saved and my 87th one is still my favorite

I went through my folder the other night and realized I've got 500 AI mashup images saved from this group. Most are silly one-time jokes, but number 87, the flamingo shaped like a traffic cone, still cracks me up every time. It's funny how a random generation from 3 years ago beats all the fancy new stuff I've made since. Has anyone else kept a favorite old one that newer AI just can't top?

You said the flamingo one "cracks you up every time," but honestly I think that's just nostalgia doing the heavy lifting. The old models were basically slot machines, you'd pull the lever a thousand times and maybe get one weird thing that stuck. Now you can actually dial in exactly what you want, and yeah it might not be as random but it's way more useful. I mean, I've gone back to my old saves too and most of them are just blurry nonsense that only seemed funny because it was the first time we saw it. That traffic cone flamingo probably looks like a melted toy compared to what you can generate in two minutes these days. If you forced yourself to make 500 new ones starting tomorrow, I bet the last one would beat number 87 without breaking a sweat.
