Who the fuck "enhanced" this photo? It's creepy af.

I was thinking that this looks really off like AI usually does.

From wikipedia:

Why not just use the original? That is such a weird choice. This isn't even the first time I've seen something like this, here someone AI'd over an existing meme for reasons that I don't understand.

The original photo contains so much more personality! Even if there's dust and blemishes, compare the subtle smile and how his eyes actually look like they're focused on something in the original vs the weird-ass AI replicant

I swear these people would look at people/themselves irl and think, "I need to 'upscale' this."
