I took the above photo with my phone, and it asked if I want to do a remix. I could make something up or choose from a list.
I chose to turn it into a 1970's photo shoot.
It does look like me but only after AI trimmed, shaped and smoothed.
Research showed this is Google AI photo app, that was secretly downloaded in the update on my phone.
Do you know someone who could make and app that I could jump through and make it change me to look like this?
It is odd how much it looks like me, but makes it much better
AI makes things too perfect, like Hallmark Movies.
with every update I check my apps and see what has been added and most of them I delete. It took me a long time to realize the updates add new apps. I did find this was added to the phone app and can't be deleted. I found 4 new games were added and I deleted them. They sneak all these things in, so we have to buy new phones...
Christmas Past and something RED

I need to check this out because my phone just updated. Like you said, AI is making things too perfect. These phones that we carry around each day are a bit tricky...I often wonder who might be listening and recording not only my calls, but the things that I search for. who knows? Betty Boop is cute and perfect for your RED each day. Happy Monday Sandra.

Yup, I knew they were tinkering and the hood at G-central when some peculiar things were happening via Blogger... sure enough, it was all about getting AI embedded into the corners. Yeeecchh... YAM xx
I haven't used that since that day you sent me the text about it. It was fun though. I never would have found it. I do always notice that there are new games on my phone after an update. I hate when they do that.
We are part of a world that is moving us 'oldies' forward whether we want to go or not. I find AI a bit scary in the way it infiltrates our lives. Merry Christmas, my friend. xo Diana
Hello,
I do not like that the AI is being almost forced on us.
I have seen images on facebook that just look too fake.
I did know they secretly add apps to our phones.
Take care, enjoy your day!
We have to be dragged along whether we like it or not, so familiarity with technology is a good thing, and you light the way for us Luddites, Sandra.
I have a love/hate relationship with AI...it can be so helpful with some things....and yet it is scary perfect in others!
Love Betty Boop!
There are good things with AI and there are scary things. The jury is still out.
Have a fabulous day and week, Sandra. Healing hugs to you and Bob and lots of scritches to Beau. Merry Christmas. ♥
These are great. I had fun trying to copy an old photo with my memory of it. They did a good job of it. Merry Christmas to you all, with hugs :)
Hmmm.... I've seen that "re-mix" suggestion but just walked on by. Now I want to play, too.
(For what it's worth, I prefer Version B in your cute stocking hat. Skinny's not all it's cracked up to be!)
I don't mind AI these days but I don't like it when it sneaks in either. Big hugs from all of us!
I avoid using AI as much as possible. Some of the results it produces on Google searches is way off base. I don't remember Betty Boop, but I am familiar with her so I guess I'm not too old. LOL!
I just did an update on my iPhone this last time and I hated them all. I will check on things they added. Thanks. And I do know Betty Boop!
As my son says : The Genie is out of the bottle and never going to get it back in the bottle...AI is here to stay and will only get more perfect. We won't know what's really real any more.
Yes I do know Betty Boop and I am OLD for sure !!!
Keep on Snapping there my friend...
(((hugs)))

Oh my gosh, this AI of YOU!!! Well, this is always what you look like in my mind. Gorgeous and glowing, because you ARE this on the inside! And somehow AI knows this.
That's so cute!
Merry CHRISTmas cousin!
Love.
I ignore all the suggestions they give about using those new AI apps. I have enough trouble just taking the photos, and maybe cropping them, much less doing anything to alter them.
Such interesting and fun photos. YOu are very clever! I love them all. I saw a video on facebook today with a woman and her dogs and cats jumping up on the sofa, etc., and hubby and I both realized that the woman had THREE legs! So then we knew it must be an AI video! It's really tricky and we have to be aware and on our guard.
Maybe someday AI or something else will make us all look perfect, just like we would like, at the press of a key. (Hmm, as nice as that might be, it still sounds scary!)
And yes, I remember Betty Boop (I must be old, LOL!)
Very interesting. I don't and won't do AI. Seriously they put that on your phone? Love the photo of you in RED. Take care. I think about you everyday. God Bless you, Bob and Beau. Merry Christmas!
My phone can't get on the Internet so no new apps are ever added but with Tim's phone, they do that. Each update downloads new games even though we have that feature turned off on his phone, they do it anyway. Sooooo stooooopppid.
Love the Santa hat on you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Betty Boop is very collectible these days.
