Lord Mayor releases AI-generated images of new Melbourne parks - only for terrified locals to spot dead bodies and mutants with extra limbs

The mayor of Australia's second biggest city's desperate attempt to get residents excited about dozens of potential new parks has been completely derailed by the use of creepy AI-generated concept images. Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece took to social media on Sunday to share a series of AI-generated images of some of the parks he's promised to create if re-elected next month. Cr Reece has vowed to transform the CBD into the'Garden City' by opening 28 new parks if he returns to the top job. But the plan backfired after the AI images left residents more concerned than excited for the new greenery. The images showed a number of confusing errors, including two people laying on the ground metres away from young children playing, a man with two legs melded into one, and several extra arms, sparking a range of reactions from baffled Aussies.
