The Domino's Pizza AI Images meme stems from the early 2023 surge in AI-generated media, specifically targeting the uncanny valley effect produced by tools like Midjourney and DALL-E. These images often depict people eating pizza in impossible ways or the pizza itself appearing as a Lovecraftian horror of dough and cheese. While not an official brand campaign, internet users repurposed the aesthetics of corporate mascots and popular food chains to highlight the hilarious and terrifying shortcomings of early generative AI. Today, these images are used as reaction memes for chaotic situations, 'cursed' content, or to satirize the rapid expansion of AI into every aspect of consumer culture.
