I just can’t get over everybody feeding their selfies into AI for these muscle morphs. Why are you giving the machine more data to train on? Why are you teaching it to be you?

Is it a recipe if I just hydrate stale bread cubes with chicken stock, season with a little salt, and mix in sautéed celery and shallots? It never fails me, but I can’t claim much creativity or nuance.
