    I don’t necessarily see why this example in particular even needed “AI.” What a pointless waste of silicon.

    It could be done by licensing a 50 cent stock photo (or simply stealing it, usage rights be damned, which is business as usual online anyhow) and a script to twiddle the color channels. There aren’t even any logos on those peoples’ clothing to update and all of the text in the background is deliberately out of focus so it’s illegible and doesn’t require updating for each version either.

    I could knock a set of these together in Corel in about 5 minutes, with each new color combo taking 30 seconds or so.

    I think the main point of interest is that about half of the crowd in the second generated picture example seems to be made up of copies of the same dude.
