Picture therapy - AI version

[Elgee]

So as I told y'all in this thread here, I've been messing around on Facebook with an AI app type thing called Smile.

What Smile does is insert / interface (pun intended) your profile picture into stock pictures. Obviously it makes you look all purty, most of the time, though there are ones that age you UP a bit, instead of down. Some don't work with all pics, as the hairlines or eyes go wonky.

 

Being me, I went completely overboard and used 3 different photos for myself, and one of my mom's, and one of my 2nd eldest sister, Caren. The results were lovely sometimes, amazing at other times, and on the odd occasion absolutely hilarious.

One made me cry. I have almost no pictures of Caren - only 2 fuzzy ones from when I was a baby (she's much older than me) and then 2 of when she was already old and sick. I took 1 of the latter, and the AI made a picture of exactly what she looked like in a few years earlier, when she was still healthy and lively! (She died of cancer a few years ago.)

 

Here's a fuzzy picture of her in her early 60's but before she became ill (unfortunately too fuzzy and too much hair over the face to use):

 

Here's the base photo (after she became ill):

 

and the result:

So as an example of what I did, here is the original pic on the AI programme:

 

 

 

It took Caren's pic:

and made this:

 

My mom's pic:

Mine from around 2008:

and from literally last week (no make-up or anything and you can see I suck at selfies lmao!):

 

to (what a NICE ai you are! yes you are!!):

So that's a sample of 1 pic.

There's loads and loads, and what I find fascinating is that even though my mom is by far the prettiest of us all, in some pics I actually come out looking better, or Caren does, because of the shape or colour of something in the base pic on the AI.

In some, I prefer the look of one of us over the other, because of the expression which makes it something more interesting.

 

For example:

I love the look of Caren in this one:

 

And the one of me from about 2012 is nice:

 

But I absolutely LOVE the one of me from last week, because we both look absolutely mischievous in it! This really is one of my favourite pics, because of the FEELING it evokes. I can't help but feel happier when I look at it:

So my apologies in advance, but I'm going to post a lot of these.

 

If any of you want to play the game yourself and post the results, feel free.

 

Alternatively if you want to give me a picture of yourself to use, I'll do them and post the results for you. 

You can leave the choices up to me or wait till I've posted a few different ones here and then pic which ones you want to be morphed into.

(You can even remain anonymous - just PM me the photo and your preference)

Here are just a few samples, per group (ie aspies, Warders, different Ajahs, etc):

(oh I forgot: I used 2 photos of myself taken last week. in one I came out looking extremely pouty so I swapped to another one for some pics.)

 

So some novice pics, using all the photos (Caren, Helena and 3 versions for myself):

Eyes:

My mom was tall, pale but tanned skin, white blonde with blue eyes. Most of her heritage is German, but there are 3 succeeding generations where the mother was from Malaysian descent.

My sister Caren looks more like my dad, who's of Russian (area) Jewish moved to the Netherlands in the 1500's, French and English descent, mostly. He had olive skin, dark brown eyes and black/dark brown hair.

 

AI is clever, but I seem to confuse it just a little bit with my eyes. It's fine with my mom's (blue) and Caren's (dark brown), but mine boggles its tiny little AI brain.

 

My eyes are naturally hazel coloured, almond shaped, with fatty pouches on the upper lids. The colour can change from that depending on what I'm wearing to what my mood is. When I'm really angry, 1 eye goes green and the other one goes yellow. I've been told it's hella scary 🤣

When using the 2012'ish photo of me it makes me darker skinned and Asian looking with epicanthal folds, and dark brown eyes. I love that, because it reflects my Malaysian heritage! Maybe AI isn't so stoopid after all LoL.

When using the latest one of me, it reflects my eyes more truly, even to colour.

The pouty one of last week vacillates a bit between colour and shape.

Here are some examples (not using Caren):

I can't find the app. Can you send a link or something?

It works through Facebook. If you go look at my posts, it should come up - it's called Smile.

Who needs a happy smiley face this morning?

Here ya go:
