Tried mashing a blender with a bonsai tree... got something weird

I was messing around in Midjourney last night. Threw in 'blender shaped like a bonsai tree' just for laughs. The result looked like a half melted kitchen appliance growing leaves. Totally useless but I laughed for like 5 minutes straight. Found out later from some blog that AI struggles with mixing mechanical and organic shapes. Something about texture conflict in the training data. Has anyone else gotten a mashup that just looked broken but hilarious?

Isn't it wild how the AI just gives up on the blender part?

Right, so the AI basically looked at 'blender bonsai' and thought, "oh, you want a sad, wilted stick blender that's given up on life." The leaves were all sharp and plastic looking, like someone glued a fake fern from a dollar store onto a broken NutriBullet. It's not even a mashup, it's the AI throwing its hands up and saying "fine, here's your stupid tree blender, hope you choke on a smoothie." My favorite part was the little power cord that was somehow growing out of the "trunk" like a weird root. Just a complete disaster of a picture, but I'd hang it on my wall unironically.
