Is that an early pic of one of the island boys?
That is definitely a face a person would make after kissing their twin brother.
No one on Lemmy spots this as obvious AI slop??
It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. It’s here, it’s not going anywhere, and it’s only a matter of time before it’s hiding its AI features and indistinguishable from anything not AI. As long as people are profiting off of us being addicted to the screens, AI will not be stopped as there has never been an easier way to keep people staring at the screens. It’s like printing money or making meth. It sells, despite any attempt to prevent profits. Businesses that utilize it will have an edge over those that don’t. Now is the time to invest. Get what you can off github, now. Our value goes down as jobs are lost to them. Don’t complain if you refuse to choose to adapt.
Is there a mutual fund you’re recommending?
The original post has video of this kid as well, and AI slop isn’t that good at faking moving hair yet. From a quick browse of that guy’s page he does over-process and filter the shit out of his stills making them look like slop, but these do appear to be real bad hair days.
Great catch. The leftmost tooth in the right image is a dead giveaway, unless he had a strange cleft lip (the left image shows that is not the case).
The image isn’t funny if it isn’t real. But it’s too good and also blurry to be obvious.
No, his lip looks larger in the right but it’s actually his gums showing behind.
This image appears to he real.
Why obvious?
the two angles are completely different. i noticed the sideburns first but the kid also has a different nose.
This level of paranoia is starting to get silly.
Idt that it’s AI, but don’t have Instagram to further confirm my suspicions.
Actually I retract, it’s real: Bohdan Vasylkov, a Ukrainian barber. He has an Instagram page and the images are heavily post processed I suppose.
Hate is a strong word, but I don’t think I’ve seen a hairstyle I’ve disliked more than that. I’m trying to understand why it’s triggering intense emotions in me. WHY is it SO powerful? I’ve been told I have a punch-able face, but this is like this whole 'nother level.
lol, kids these days and their stupid tastes, amirite?
I remember thinking “these fucking mulletted hicks” when we moved to missouri and I was a little kid, like 6… but had never seen a full on mullet IRL, then was suddenly surrounded by them all ages and not just the boys either.
What blows my mind is when stupid shit like this comes back into vogue. I lived through so much cringe the first time, and I loathe doing it all over again.
Not that I’m the height of fashion or anything, myself. If not for my wife, I’d be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.
I’d be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.
This is actually a trend now. Gen Z is about it, and judges the old heads for ankle sock
Whatever will they all think when I avoid both trends and wear no socks at all?
Probably that my feet stink, I guess.
Flip flop gang! I wear actual shoes maybe 10% of days
“No show” socks have been a thing for quite some time, so…?
Saw a 20-something at the local pub a couple years ago with the full on rat tail, stubbies, dark green tshirt and boonie 'stache and flashed back 40 years so fast i got whiplash
I’m the opposite, I say bring on the stupid shit and do it often! Life’s short and looking kinda silly on purpose sometimes is fun. My most recent foray into such was a mustache large enough to be mocked by my daughter’s soccer teammates, first practice, basically on sight hahaha. Causing her to cry (and me to shave it, lol, but it was fun while it lasted, and I don’t intend to further traumatize her with sartorial silliness).
Maybe I’m just too high, but I’m a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that’s gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental “friends”.
It all worked out, but I appreciate your defensiveness! It was a mixed group, 'twas the lads cracking jokes, and not even to her - she’s a sensitive one (which I love). The funniest part is the coach wore a silly (admittedly less silly) mustache the whole season, his son was one of the goobers cracking jokes, and everyone actually really got along great over the season.
On the other hand, the kinda stuff you’re describing does happen, and my kiddo has already had to extract herself from a friend group that was heading solidly in that direction. No bueno! Bad parenting by crappy people usually, in my experience.
As a gay man, I think I can say this without it being controversial, kid looks like a {redacted}.
retard
Being gay is of no consequence.
This is what the cool kids look like in a sci-fi movie from 2003 set in the year 2103
Pretty sure I fought this dude in Expedition 33
What is there to debate? I couldn’t care less about someone else’s haircut.
It’s debatable that it sparks debate.
Juicy.
This type only lasts a few weeks anyway, after that it will just look uniformly short.
Controversy? Fucking get over it ya snowflakes. Imagine being that precious
Bro really said gimme the Spock up front and Clyde Cash in the back.
To quote some standup I saw 20 years ago from a black woman about black ladies’ hair:
“Sooooo, I want it short but also long, with spikes up front aaaaand a spoiler from a Ford Fiesta.”
It’s not terrible, I’m sure it achieves exactly the results the owner intended: turns heads, memorable, somewhat exciting.
The barber is Bohdan Vasylkov, based in Warsaw, Poland. This one in particular is posted on his Instagram as a “Neo-Saiyan Cut.”
Honestly, this is probably one of the least offensive ones lmao.
Wow, in my head, it was Vegeta + bowl cut.
He’s actually doing some really new and interesting things. Probably none of it is going to catch on as a look, but it’s unique.
Also, a lot of the cuts look interesting because of how he shaves it. A week or two after the cut and it will lose the effect - another reason why none of these will trend.
Yeah that was my first thought after getting over the weirdness of it, “How manageable is this hair going to be after getting home and later as it grows out?”
I’m 2 weeks that kid is gonna look like he lost an argument with a weed whacker lol
At least there’s no moustache-with-no-beard going on.
I’ve no idea who told kids they can pull that shit off, but they can’t.
A mustache-with-no-beard is a mustache, which firemen and dads have been doing for millennia.
Sure, older men can pull off a moustache.
Sam Elliott. Nick Offerman. Hell, even Pedro Pascal.
Now see Michael Cera. That’s what all young people look like trying to make this work.
A moustache is earned, not granted.
A good mustache is a gift that not everyone is granted. We all do the best we can do.
When you wanna look fancy but hate wearing tiaras.
