This just reminds me that they had an entire sketch that was actually animated and is now recurring and it makes the decision to use AI at all that much more baffling. Clearly people at the show still believe in using creative actual people to produce stuff, so who was the dickwad that decided to use a prompt in an AI generator at all?

The decision was almost certainly made by whoever is in charge of creating graphics for the show. Imagine it's late Friday night when someone had to decide to either use this image, an image that doesn't really show the story very well, or a new photo that would take multiple people many hours to create for a Saturday night show.

I think you're underestimating how much they can do on cocaine in a short amount of time.

Probably one of those creatives that sees AI generated art as just another tool to produce art.
