Generative AI has been the rage of late, stunning people with content creation. Chat GPT stunned folks when it was released and suddenly started churning out everything from recipes to essays to blog articles (its still human me writing here).

I read an article about AI generating images of people from different states. The program used to generate the images was Midjourney. I have my own Midjourney account and thought it would be interesting to take that same idea and put a spin on it have AI generate photos of preppers in all 50 states.

The results were very telling about AIs assessment of preppers. Apparently, AI thinks we are all white, bearded men who appear to live in poverty and hoard trash. Some of the results are downright entertaining. See the results for yourself below and tell me Im wrong. Alabama

Did this prepper just experience a natural disaster or does his home always look like that? Alaska

Be careful of that fire, bro. Your shack is about to catch on fire! Arizona

Aaaah, sitting down with your bug out bag and staring off into the land of no water and no food. Arkansas

Bud, watch that fire or your shack will burn down. California

Prepper or homeless? AI seems to blur the lines. Colorado

Finally, a prepper who seems to be well-situated. Connecticut

He has food! Delaware

Prepper life = shack life. Florida

Thats a lot to carry on ones back. Georgia

This guy doesnt know fire safety either. His canvas tent home is about to burn down. Hawaii

Fresh fruit and an ocean/mountain view. I might become a Hawaii prepper! Idaho

Im not quite sure whats going on here, but the truck is split in half and theres a fire on one half. Illinois

Illinois preppers represent with gas masks and hazmat suits. Well done! Indiana

This prepper is concerned about his identity so he didnt show up. Iowa

I think this Iowa prepper is now an aspiring prepper after suffering loss. Kansas

What is up with this guys odd rifle behind him!? AI flubbed this one up. Kentucky

More in-the-woods shack life happening in Kentucky. Louisiana

This guy looks ready to disappear into the bayou with wet boots. Maine

I live in Maine, and well, Ive seen this kind of home more than once. Maryland

I hope this is a rundown shed and not his actual home. Massachusetts

This bro looks like hes posing for a picture on Doomsday Preppers. Michigan

Another odd firearm depiction here. Minnesota

This must be a low-cost bug out retreat. Mississippi

More trash hoarding in Mississippi. Missouri

Not sure why he has so much crap on the walls of his tent, but he looks like a friendly guy. Montana

Apparently in Montana you just have to be a cowboy to be a prepper. Nebraska

This bro is ready. Nevada

I love this guys hair! New Hampshire

Finally, a normal looking guy. New Jersey

New Jersey preppers are at least patriotic, even if they just hoard trash in the woods. New Mexico

Nice firearms safety, AI. New York

Looks like a homeless encampment. I guess they got that part of New York right. North Carolina

All smiles form this David Koresh looking guy. Is this the beginning of his post-apocalyptic cult? North Dakota

Im not sure what I like more, the spikes coming out of his tent or the low-rider car parked next to it. Ohio

Plenty of gear here. Oklahoma

He may have made this house entirely from pallets. Oregon

Face = hidden! Pennsylvania

Wall of gear. Rhode Island

Interesting, a fisheye lens take. South Carolina

Odd looking rifle here, but its otherwise consistent with every other image bearded white guy. South Dakota

He just came back from Sturgis. Tennessee

I guess building a fire on your table is an option. Texas

At least Texas preppers will be able to keep the music alive after the apocalypse. Utah

High altitude prepper! Vermont

I think Ive actually seen this guy hiking the Green Mountains. Virginia

Is he on his way to the dump with that trash? Washington

Another secretive prepper who wont show his face. At least the view is pretty. West Virginia

Is that the entrance to a coal mine? Wisconsin

I bet this guy dresses as Santa in December. Wyoming

Wyoming preppers represented by a Dwarvish miner.

Whats your takeaway on these images? Let me know in the comments.
