"Sydney Sweeney’s Reaction To AI-Generated Portrait Goes Viral"

[kane_magus]

I'm not sure what's the most insipid thing about all of this... the AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney, Sydney Sweeney's reaction to the AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney, the "Internet"'s reaction to Sydney Sweeney's reaction to the AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney, or this Forbes reaction to the "Internet"'s reaction to Sydney Sweeney's reaction to the AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney.

(Nah, I'm just kidding. The most insipid thing about all of this is obviously my post here reacting to that Forbes reaction to the "Internet"'s reaction to Sydney Sweeney's reaction to that inane AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney, which looks like a badly 3D rendered off-brand bootleg of a reject Disney Princess.)

Meanwhile, my reaction to your reaction to that Forbes reaction to the "Internet"'s reaction to Sydney Sweeney's reaction to that inane AI portrait of Sydney Sweeney comes down to "Who the hell is Sydney Sweeney?" Apparently she's an actress of some sort, which makes her opinions warrant this sort of multi-tier attention?

Yeah, I'd never heard of her or whatever thing she's supposedly famous for (I read the Wikipedia page for it as far as "Euphoria is an American teen drama" before losing any and all interest) before this, either. This just popped up in my feed on my phone's Google News App because I have "Artificial Intelligence" on my followed topics list.

On the one hand, she was apparently "famous" enough an actress to be singled out at some Samsung techbro conference thing, and for them to have made a (terrible looking) AI mock-up of her, and for her limp reaction to it to "go viral" or whatever (and for that to, apparently, be newsworthy enough for Forbes, of all things, to cover it). On the other hand, you'd think if she was an actually famous actress, she'd have much better things to do than to hang around at some Samsung techbro thing.
