Portraits generated by AI: I don’t know about the rest of the country but they absolutely nailed the midwestern look.

At least the woman from Illinois has a bit of a smile. Is everyone else really as miserable in real life as they look in these generated portraits?

I wouldn’t say everybody, but one thing I’ve noticed is that there are a lot of really angry people here. I saw a few in CA but nothing like this. Random strangers go off on politics, sports teams, gas prices, taxes, and the quality of produce at the grocery store. They might direct their anger at me, their companion or the universe at large but there’s no doubt they’re angry. I’ve stopped going to one gas station because the clerk just won’t shut up and I no longer trade anywhere I see wingnut hate signs. They’re also scared about all sorts of stuff, despite my little berg being listed among the safest small towns in the country. The police and fire departments are enormous for the size of the town and every other little town has departments of similar size. I originally thought they were afraid of change but the area has remained virtually unchanged since 1950 so I don’t know. Maybe the AI has picked up on this.

If these portraits are to be believed, most Americans are either angry or discouraged. There were just a handful of smiles or even non-emotional looks in the gallery. Maybe that says more about AI than the population at large. Big Al

I wonder if this is the Trump effect, that of fostering anger and bad feeling. People in NY City I don't think complain all that much in person but they sure do in comment sections of the media. Or maybe that's mostly Staten Islanders who complain about how awful it is and how, as soon as they retire, they're gonna move to some shangri-la in another state. And after moving they come back to the same forums and keep complaining. The AI pictures are funny.

I've pretty much given up reading the comments. Everything gets turned into the same stupid arguments no matter what the topic.

I get the gist, but why are all the men allowed to have gray hair, glasses and look like they might be in their fifties while all the women are no more than thirty and hot? | |||

Anyone else think the guy from Arizona looks like Billy Bob Thornton?

Stopped at Florida. Did not want to see any more of those unhappy people.

That’s a very happy woman in Hawaii. My page stopped loading, so I stopped there.

The Indiana couple look ecstatically happy -- they are practically glowing. Not sure why given they live in Mike Pence's motherland. The New Jersey and Texas women need more makeup and bigger hair. Clearly the AI has never watched Real Housewives or Jersey Shore LOL. The North Carolina people are wearing winter coats - not sure why that would be. Seems to be a weird choice of state for a puffy coat. I have a friend who relocated here from Vermont and the Vermont guy could be a literal portrait of him. It's downright freaky actually. | |||

I am interested in possibly relocating, so I decided to look at the women as if looking for a potential new friend--which of these women would I like to know? Colorado, and the New England states--especially Maine and NH-- are the ones that looked like people I'd like to spend time with. Montana threw me a bit. I don't know anyone here who looks like those people. The Indians do not look like that, nor do the women. So I guess it's not a good barometer.

The Ohio guy is some 30 years younger than most of the folks I see around here. I thought that was because the local population skews older but I looked it up and that’s not the case. Turns out that since I retired I run my errands mid day with the rest of the retired folks and frequent the same places.
