He certainly lowered the bar in a big way!

I'd say the grin is passably intact, yes? If you hadn't mentioned it was A.I., I would've guessed this was a less iconic pic of the man himself.

You're absolutely right! I simply used a portrait photo of Keanu Reeves here and asked the AI to give him a slight 'teeth-showing smile.' I didn't use any LoRA models. If I had improperly used questionable LoRA models, his smile wouldn't have turned out quite like this, wouldn't you agree? Honest!

You know, I think that's exactly why so many platforms are removing all those photorealistic LoRA models now. But honestly, this kind of move just feels like they're trying to cover their bases. AI tech is advancing a bit too fast these days - soon enough, it might get really hard to tell what's real and what's not in online videos, huh? 🌐

Indeed. And given that politicians in most countries are of an older generation by at least one remove, it may be a while before anyone can create useful and well-considered guideline laws and policies for the uses of this technology. The old "well, I'll just sign off on whatever laws make me and my campaign contributors the most money while not upsetting too many voters" may not get the results they anticipate. As you suggest, A.I. is not simply another technological breakthrough, it looks to be a potential culture shift point in the making. One can't just put a price tag on Pandora's Box and say, "Well, it's for sale, my work here is done!" :-) Thanks for your thoughts. Be well, go safely!
