What I love about AI images like this is that it looks like there's so much detail and you could spend forever taking a closer look and then when you try there's nothing there

Kind of an appropriate emblem of living in the second gilded age.
It would actually be fun to use AI to draft the architecture of a building like this and then meticulously paint in all the details.
I like how there's architecture, trees, and roads that go straight into a wall... all built underground!
I saw Funhaus on YouTube play a game of "eye tracker" with ai handshakes. The prompt for the person in the hot seat was 'just look at the real handshake'. Hilarity ensued. Going to try it with the family at Christmas this year.
2001 Space Odyssey vibes
Isn't that already an art style though? Like the dude who made paintings out of just dots?
No that's more about style, the AI here isn't doing it on purpose, it's just doesn't have the fidelity/ability to provide those little details. Meaning when you zoom in everything generally gets blurry and messy.
It would be like if you opened up one of those cross section books, but when trying to actually see the insides everything was off. 
Stephen Biesty is a great example of the kind of meticulously drafted artwork that AI is total dogshit at trying to imitate.
Is this from The Way Things Work?
No, it's a drawing by Stephen Biesty as pointed out by @GraniteM. It seems like it might be from Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections but he did a number of books about illustrated cross sections.
The Congress delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke...
the ballot-rog
And as the bridge of Khazad-dūm began to crumble, Gandalf the Grey uttered a falling warning…
Vote you fools
They found the circus. The clowns came flying out.
It's been a while since I've been to DC... but it looks like they've done a wonderful job of bringing those swathes of valuable and desirable plots of land back to nature!
... /s obviously, and unfortunately.
Shoot I knew this was fake just because it shows bedrock directly underneath the surface in an area known to be a former swamp…
Former?
I heard it got drained.
Haha good point!

The joys of image generation, I haven't really considered what the older generations will start posting with it
Meh. I wouldn't worry too much. When was the last time you saw someone use that filter that makes you look like a dog?
I like the line in 'Halt and Catch Fire.' "The first week after I got a printer every letter I sent looked like a ransom note.'
Oh I should have clarified, I find this hilarious, image generation as a way into the imagination of a qanon or whoever is absolute gold lol, also adding that to my watch list

I want to make this my base in Minecraft
This is my Starbound base I will sue those memestealers
I've been under the Capitol building before and the only thing there is a chuck e cheese. There is no deep state conspiracy, just a love of cardboard flavored pizza and video games.
You fool, under that is where they keep the children!
Under the pizza or under the video games?
Either way, it must be some tiny children if nobody's found them yet!
There are still freeways even in the top secret underground Illuminati city. Seems about right for America.
On what level do the lizard people live? We need some annotations!
Anywhere below -20
They don't like the light
Boomers are so cooked with AI
Lol... this is actually what the Austin/TX capitol is like. I think they call it the "underground annex".
The tunnels where democrats store the mole children, right? I hate the future.
Massive if true.
I spent too long looking over this picture for little hidden details the artist might have added before realizing there is like a 90% chance it's AI generated and there are no little hidden details
We'll lose so much when AI art replaces a lot of this kind of stuff.
That's the plan.
Reptilians where?
