All you need is a red shirt, a grey hoodie, a windswept location, and some nearby transportation project. Preferrably a defunct or about-to-be-closed transportation project.
That said, there's a Tom-shaped hole in my youtube recommendations these days.
I have a T-shirt from a museum I haven't been to in a while that has a couple of holes worn into it so I've made that my excuse that we have to return to that museum this summer
This is definitely AI. And kinda old AI at that. The backgrounds are nondescript, the facial hair is ambiguous, the face looks like one of those "upload a photo to see it realistically move with the magic of AI", the shirt looks airbrushed and ambiguous, he has dark eyes instead of very blue eyes like in real life, and if you try to look up pictures of any interviews of him in those particular years, he usually has facial hair and a button down, sometimes with a jacket.
Compare the upper right and lower left picture on this post with this similar meme. Film grain is missing (possibly due to AI "beauty filters"?) and how the upper right image, his eyes are way more blue. I think the original meme creator probably wanted to make it look like all 4 pictures were the same gray shirt rather than 4 different gray shirts since the bottom left shirt in the picture I posted is heathered gray instead of flat gray.
In highschool, I just had 7 sets of the same exact outfit. Literally dressed like a cartoon character so that I would always be recognized, because you'd only ever see me in the same thing every day.
Some real relatable high school insecurity right there. I definitely had a few months as "funny tshirt guy" and a few months as "no logo dark color shirt guy."
I saw one person comment about it, but I still couldn't tell... It just looks like a few pictures taken at different times, with different angles and lighting.
What's the tell for you?
(I'm also on mobile, so maybe I should check on a bigger screen)
