I had a text conversation with Katie about someone we both know that included photos she’d grabbed from FB. The first one was shared by this person a week ago, and the other within the past 24-hours. They didn’t even look like the same person!
Now this chick is mid-50’s and she’s very pretty — great eyes and blinding white teeth. In the first one, she looked GREAT. In the followup photo she looked plastic.
AI photo filters sometimes make you nearly unrecognizable.
Katie’s home for the weekend, and today I took a couple photos of us together. Here’s one of them…
When I took the photos, I’d forgotten about the conversation. But when I went to send her a copy, I saw where we were talking about photo filters and couldn’t help myself. I used PhotoShop to reduce both our ages. It gave Katie more hair and smoothed out my mop — and even tried to get rid of my wrinkles…
Katie’s response when I sent them to her was, “that don’t look like me!”
Real is better than fake!
I’m not a fan of fake eyebrows drawn on and I’m not a fan of eyelashes that look like caterpillars. But I am a fan of people doing whatever it is they like and what makes them feel like they look their best. I’m good with pink hair if that’s what you want and I don’t deny that I color my locks.
But I’m not gonna lie — I hate photo filters that change the way people REALLY look. I’m sticking with the me that has wrinkles and messy hair. 🙂
