I was just thinking about how every techbro podcaster must have a really cringeworthy gallery on their phone where they tried to nail that perfect overly-excited selfie for the youtube thumbnail. Thinking about how awful those photos must be made me smile. And then I thought, I'll bet they just use "AI" image generators for that now, and I made it worse.
@jwz speaking of AI generated selfies:
> My passport photo is actually AI-generated, because, why not? We live in the metaverse.
those have a name
the "YouTube Face"
I will never create a video but if I did, this would be mine (extra credit for anyone who knows who this is)
@jwz I can confirm, I've seen youtubers that are clearly just having AI generate thumbnails for them.
Ones I used to follow, too
