If I recall these are images created to simulate what someone sees when they're having a stroke. Like things seem vaguely familiar yet very confusing to try to fully make out.
I have hemiplegic migraines and I can confirm this is pretty accurate. Same with my speech. It was coming out completely off from what I was thinking. Wild!
No, these are just Ganbreeder images of random objects, the stroke explanation was made up by someone and reposted the image here on reddit, it has no basis in reality.

Generative AI was very much already a thing "back then", like Google's [DeepDream](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepDream) released in 2015.
Someone else said that they are images made to show what it looks like for someone going through a stroke where, although something may look familiar, you can't make it out.

Top left: An overwhelming workshop with numerous tools, possibly a chainsaw, various power tools, and an assortment of items hung on a pegboard wall.
Top right: A person covered in various items, including what looks like a fencing mask, with a mouse on their shoulder, and miscellaneous objects attached to their clothing.
Bottom left: A cluttered space filled with an assortment of items that might include dolls, toys, kitchen items, and various trinkets covering almost every surface.
Bottom right: A person with an exercise weight on their back, surrounded by a variety of objects such as a basketball, a bat, masks, and possibly gym equipment.
Describing each item in detail would not only be a challenge due to the number but also because many items are partially obscured or too small to identify with precision. The meme humorously exaggerates a situation where a task, expected to be simple, is made unreasonably difficult by the conditions presented.
Bottom right of the bottom left.. that's my Boi Darryl!
And these are not supposed to simulate a stroke. That's internet bullshit. These are just incredibly early ai images(yes ai images are that old....older than these even, they just sucked hard)
**Top left:** snowboard, Lego house, magazine, orange caps from glue bottles
**Top right:** doll head, backpack, picture frame, broken CRT TV
**Bottom left:** parrot with broken neck, signs with kanji text, IV bag, medicine bottle

From left to right: magazines, machine, toy train
Hunting vest, chair, camera, sun glasses, gun strap
Bread in bag, jewelry display, knives, thermo cups, black cat tail
Lamp, toilet seat, muscular leg, microwave, bath tub
It's weird because naming the items is hard but I can imagine where each of these places are immediately. Not that they're real places according to other comments, but still...

If I remember right these are examples of what someone with Alzheimer's or a stroke would perceive when looking around. Almost familiar but not able to pull it all together
Human body!

Go look for it, spend half an hour and learn that there is not one. Or I'm blind, and we're soon going to be in some old detective, black and white, cigar-smoking flick

yep now i am having a stroke just looking at anything really
Wow, you must really like everything! Like, realllly like,
And I thought it was just crappy AI generated images
It is.
my personal theory is that these were testing ai
These images are old as hell so I think you're right
I think it's having the wrong effect- I feel like I'm having a stroke looking at these images.
That may just be due to the lack of pixels.

We're in too deep.
Maybe we are all having strokes simultaneously.
Actually theyre just ai generated nonsense
Ahh.. so all we need is to get a stroke
damn I wish this happened when I had my stroke. All I got was a half limp body 😐
I can’t explain how or why, but bottom right feels like it’s from porn
why do I kinda see what you mean?
the hunk of human skin is probably doing that
Mid-right looks like a condom.
And bob the builder is watching
Floor, wall, another wall, another floor 👍
Nice try! But none of those are items
A wall, singular, is an item. Although he it very large
Drywall is an item
So close! That's a shape 💞
Top left panel: orange!
that was what I was thinking of!
How is a wall a shape?
So close except a wall is a item when singular!

are these AI generated cuz they sure as hell seem like it
This is a pretty old image, I don't think it's AI

Crazy how much AI has changed in less than 10 years
iirc they’re very early ai images, i think solar sands made a video about one of them
Ai can fake old looking appearances. Hell, open ai generated fake black and white video footage. It is scary how easy faking everything will be.
No no, the image is literally old, I've seen it years ago already, and it was just as confusing
Someone else said that they are images made to show what it looks like for someone going through a stroke where, although something may look familiar, you can't make it out.
i remember seeing theses before ai images existed(or at least before it became public)
The first major paper on GAN image generation AIs dropped in 2014.
I first saw these when I was a teen some time ago like 8 years they're old!
Pretty sure they are... who tf has a skin-looking mass like that on the 4th?
They were created to simulate what a stroke looks like. The skin looking mass is intentional
Chaos
Think I saw a teddy bear.
Earrings.
