Obviously, neither Samuel Kurtiss nor Joey T. are real. Well, they’re not real in the sense that they’re images created with AI. Yet… could they be real? Therein lies the so-called truth in fiction. Deep stuff, eh? Like getting to the fruit on the bottom of a big vat of flavored yogurt. Profound, I know.
AI sure does add some weird stuff. Look at the items on the shelf behind this dude. also, AI did a strange job of not tapering the hair down in the “party” side of the mullet. I guess I could have gone in and done that myself, but that’s not my job! I pay AI to do that for me! Good help is so hard to find!
Here’s fake Joey T. before I added a bigger plate and a fish head in Canva. Full disclosure: I created the fish head in Midjourney as well. I didn’t want to use some random fish found on the internet and then have that fish find out I used him without his permission and get his fish lawyers to sue me. That’s never fun.
