    Honestly, I kind of hate these memes for this reason, I emphasize deeply with his emotional state, which is why I know I would hate being photographed every time I feel like that. Just let the man just live his life.

      I don’t get posts like this – his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I’ve ever seen. These pics/posts have strong “you should smile more” energy

      This might be one of the few good things about widespread AI adoption -the value of real-life images and videos must be depreciating when anyone can just generate whatever images they want and most of the audience won’t know or care for the difference.

      Or worse (for the paparazzi) - audiences will assume or become convinced that the real photos are AI generated anyway.

      With GenAI maybe we can stop taking so many meaningless pictures and videos of people just living their goddamn lives, or people doing dangerous or stupid shit for clout…

      Right? Maybe? … I hope?

      It’s literally what you sign up for when you become a career actor, though.

      I’m actually a very talented actor, but I never had any interest in pursuing it as a career for exactly this reason.

        That’s crazy. I too am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

          I’m a really good astronaut but I never went to space because I get motion sickness.
