“Unbelievable Encounters: 50 Jaw-Dropping Photos of Celebrities Face-to-Face with Their Younger Selves!”
“MINDBLOWING!!” he posted on Instagram in July. “Of the 20 images in this video, I created 17 and someone(Ai) finished it.” Followed by a bunch of emojis. Gelinck then went on to say that it was unbelievable, and “Ai is fun but also really, really crazy and scary and also moving. Ai don’t know where this ends.”

Gelinck’s post managed to clock up over 20 thousand likes on Instagram. But it was met with mixed reactions. Some were wowed. While others were clearly freaked out. X user @jrawson shared the video and joked that they “might have found the most cursed thing on the internet”.
@aerocles reposted the video with the caption, “Hey AI what would it look like if a bunch of celebrities were in love with their younger selves? Make it really awkward and creepy.”
“Even with recent years’ leaps and bounds in sophistication, these sorts of outputs are still so uncanny that they even seem to freak out the people creating them — a certain indictment of the reality of generative AI as it stands today,” wrote The_Byte.

It’s intentionally obvious that Gelinck’s his images are photoshopped. But there are times some other people have posted overpolished pictures that they want us to believe are perfectly pure. Some photoshop fails that were definitely not the flex they set out to be.
