      I was thinking that this looks really off like AI usually does.

      From wikipedia:

      Why not just use the original? That is such a weird choice. This isn’t even the first time I’ve seen something like this, here someone AI’d over an existing meme for reasons that I don’t understand.

        The original photo contains so much more personality! Even if there’s dust and blemishes, compare the subtle smile and how his eyes actually look like they’re focused on something in the original vs the weird-ass AI replicant

          I swear these people would look at people/themselves irl and think, “I need to ‘upscale’ this.”

    Meme made me lol, but AI enhanced photo of Hertz is super unsettling to me. 😬

    Me, a German, reading “Hertz” the way it’s meant to be pronounced so the pun doesn’t work (also marvelling at this amazing display of sophisticated humor that we Germans so painfully lack):

      Guess you haven’t heard enough English accents yet. I’ve heard it pronounced close enough to “Hertz” a few times.

        I’ve heard loads of English accents, but no matter how many of them I’m familiar with, I’ll still read German names in a German pronunciation cause my German brain is used to that.
