I see the word “araffe” pop up a lot when it comes to AI image generation or AI generated image descriptions. What is the context, where does it come from?

That’s interesting because Araf means slow in welsh and it seems to be using that as a root.
I took great delight in saying that when we would go through Wales.
Haha, I lived in Wales for quite a few years and I think it’s the law that if you drive over it then you have to.

arafedin the Welsh-English dictionary online but thought it was unrelated because of onef. Turns out, it was very relatedI do appreciate the flaming pope… but having lived in English speaking country my whole life I’m skeptical because I’ve never heard anyone talking about araffe.
Also, none of my spell-checkers have ever heard of it…
Not wanting to contribute nothing with this comment I punched “araffe” into my magic noise genie and it spat out 20 sad giraffes in a row.
So my theory is generation loss: once long ago someone misspelled giraffe and Ai artists have copied each others prompts enough times that it’s now a thing…
I also had never heard the word prior to the gen-ai craze. Perhaps it is a hallucination of the machine?
It’s eating my brain! It feels like a proper mystery but is probably fairly mundane.
The page you found indicates some wider level of awareness… at the very least it’s an attempt at SEO, maybe just a harmless joke, a honeypot created by someone with the same unanswered question. I should probably go take someones medication ;-)
