I'm working on a golf startup atm, so this is relevant.

These are certainly generated, as virtually every golf club has an insane and unworkable head, just like Midjourney. AI doesn't seem to focus on that level of detail. Take this one for example which would launch the ball somewhere into the sun: https://stockcake.com/i/golf-swing-action_656275_515716

Others look something like a soup plate attached to a stick, and it is common to see right handed players using left handed clubs.

It mushes all the concepts together into very recognizable AI soup.

Let's see how it does with Native American

These could cause some upset... If you have to do this maybe at least avoid publishing anything tagged "History"?

Northern natives all have horns, right?

That definitely not the most upsetting part of the reindeer image though.
The harn-ass!
that's quite an uncomfortable pose, makes me feel similar to stock photos of someone holding a soldering iron like it's a pencil
Umm, isn't that how you're supposed to hold it? At least that's how I do.
I don't know how to hold a golf club but if you mean the soldering iron, I don't hold a pencil from 6 inches off the paper. Google "soldering iron stock photo" to see the alternative. As a friend of mine says, "if you smell cooked chicken, you're holding it wrong."
I'm no golf expert but I don't think this is how you do it

They have some very specific niches covered though, such as "soldier petting a dog with both right hands"

And "cat space adventure, wait, oh god we accidentally overfitted the model on dogecoin memes"

It's really inspiring how he doesn't let his horribly deformed right arm stop him from playing golf.
You haven’t seen me play.
Cool, what's the startup?
