I'm only reading about people getting really uncomfortable looking at this (on reddit). To me it did nothing, although I also couldn't recognise any of the items in the picture. Does anyone else have the same experience?

Compared to most DeepDream images this one isn't unsettling at all to me. I guess if you have seen a lot generated images, they become more familiar and less unsettling.

It appears to be made with GANbreeder but I haven't seen any hard evidence of that. Nevertheless highly likely.

We should try not to physically mount a meatspace DDOS ... but the creator of GANbreeder is hosting a GANparty in Berkeley May 3rd.... https://ganbreeder.app/party

GANbreeder in turn uses BigGAN.

Follow up tweet by same person: "Wow this blew up check out " Please don't support this type of virality and profiteering. It's disgusting.

Are you suggesting "dumbass idiot 𓅩" with a bio of "shut the fuck hi" is a completely serious account? It's fairly obvious that it's a tongue-in-cheek joke, the linked url doesn't even work.

Part of the reason people on reddit are reacting like that is because the OP on Reddit framed it with the bullshit title about it simulating a stroke.

Frame it differently and people would be more likely to go “huh, that’s weird”

I found it unsettling. At first glance it's "oh easy I can easily spot something in there, like that... Oh... Uh?" I guess its been crafted to tickle the pattern matching part of the brain, so it looks familiar, but not? Like the uncanny valley?

There’s at least a jewelry stand in that image you see at a flea market.
