AI-generated painting: The Underinformed Bighorn Sheep

The story

The sheep had been promoted to Senior Analyst after a clerical error in HR mistook its bleating for a PowerPoint presentation. It now spends its days staring at spreadsheets it cannot read, occasionally nudging the mouse with its nose, hoping the screen will show a meadow. Its coworkers have stopped asking questions. The sheep, for its part, has stopped wondering why the coffee machine keeps dispensing alarm clocks.

The brief

A single bighorn sheep stands motionless in a dimly lit, beige-walled office cubicle, its horns slightly askew, gazing blankly at a flickering fluorescent light above a keyboard with three sticky notes reading 'Why?', 'Again?', and 'Snacks?'.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
