Using recent photos of my family members, I think some results are better than others. For example, I can barely see my Mom and Perry in their AI images. (Perry thinks he looks like an old fart you’d find sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons.) I think Ben, Tammy, Jerilyn and Katie are spot on. Mr. Pesky appears to be Puerto Rican and Scott’s hair needs to be darker without red. The only thing about Coco’s image that’s accurate is her nose. Scott said I look like our Aunt Shirley when she was young. 🙂

Now you know: 9-yr-old Jodie Foster was mauled by a lion on the set of Napoleon and Samantha, leaving her with scars on her back & stomach. While being held sideways in its mouth & shook “like a doll”, she saw the crew running off. The lion did drop her when told to, but it left her with lifelong ailurophobia (persistent and excessive fear of cats).
