I love to laugh at real photos made into something else — like a different scene, clothing, or style. You might remember the pirate selfies I created via AI and shared, but my latest endeavor is funnier by far.
I started with ChatGPT and an image of family from Thanksgiving.
With Christmas rapidly approaching, I thought it would be awesome for all of us to be dressed like elves. I asked ChatGPT to only edit the clothes and the background. I typed a full paragraph of nothing but verbiage instructing the app NOT to alter anything at all with faces — they should be kept pixel perfect. The result?
And then I laughed and laughed and sent the photo to my favorite brother. He said, “Oh man — I can’t get my breath because I’m laughing so hard. Poor Mom looks like one of those women that they interview who spent their life in prison.“
Next, I gave ImagineArt a go at it…
While a whole lot better, the image below did require some of my PhotoShop love. I pulled Mom’s face from another photo and added it, and made Colette’s arms the same length (one looked like it belonged on a Tyrannosaurus Rex). Oh! And Perry had 2 arms on one side of his body. 🙄
And finally, I turned to Grok Imagine for the grand finale…
Mom playing her dog like an air guitar makes me laugh every single time I watch it.
Let’s talk about the AI Bubble…
The term “AI bubble” refers to the concern that today’s massive investment and hype around artificial intelligence could resemble past speculative bubbles—most famously the dot-com bubble—where valuations outpaced real economic value.
The concerns stem from gains and explosive stock market growth that are largely driven by AI expectations, not traditional product growth. In addition, there’s HUGE capital spending and customer demand isn’t scaling fast enough. Do you know of any large company, device, news organization or social media platform that isn’t using it?
What do you think? Will we see a “burst” — just a bubble deflated — or do you see AI increasing in demand and value?
Now you know: For a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame there is a $85000 fee plus an application process.
