In the future, will our LinkedIn posts be written by AI, or another version of us?
Background: I was experimenting with Google Gemini over the weekend. To depict my reliance on technology, I tried to create images that turned half my face into a robot. However, the Nano Banana engine just couldn’t get it right. The robot part kept overwhelming the human part of my face.
So I tried another method with Google Whisk, which provides more control. I uploaded my profile photo and a generic image of a robot with an appliance-like build (aka glossy plastic). Then, for some reason, I thought of a sleeping robot on a red sofa. So here you have it.
Do robots dream of electric sheep? Do human cyborgs dream of their original selves?
