An AI has produced images for what the 'average' driver looks like for multiple brands of car.
What better way to spend a dreary afternoon that get an artificial intelligence program to create pictures of what it thinks the stereotypical people of each type of car look like.
This AI's generating of drivers may be 'way to[o] accurate' for some people to handle.
AI may've already created what an 'average person' looks like from each country, but now it's time for drivers to have a go.

U/8bitremixguy took to Reddit after deciding to task a program with the making of giving specific car brands a matching driver before sharing the results to r/midjourney.
And the results are pretty hilarious.
Of course some of these pictures suffer from the same problems that AI has always had in generating images - some bits just don't look real.

Take the above image of the supposedly 'average' Mini driver and try to look past how garishly orange everything is, his left hand looks inhumanly gnarled and his tie is done up over his collar.
Then there's this AI depiction of the average Toyota Prius driver standing next to her car, both of which are covered in far too much pink fluff.
Quite what the AI was thinking when it decided to create a Prius with two patches of fuzzy pink hair on top is anyone's guess, while the driver is wearing what appears to be a fluffy pink dressing gown and matching hat.
The AI program has even stuck the cars in their apparently natural habitat, with people thinking Mr Rolls Royce is 'so sick' he's blocking the traffic for his vanity shot.

Some reckon these pictures are pretty spot-on, but other drivers have argued that the AI has got it badly wrong.
The AI generated image of the 'average' driver of a Ford F-150 is somewhere between wannabe cowboy and a flyover state serial killer, though lots reckon that the real Ford crowd are 'suburbanites who haven't seen a dirt road ever'.
Luckily, the AI seemed to nail the theme a little better for some other larger vehicles, with Mr Mercedes G-Class being the type of person who would travel to Dubai and spend the entire time posing for Instagram pictures.
He'd probably have a lot to talk about with Mr Hummer, who has very much pimped their ride into a gaudy and garish gas-guzzling gargantuan.

Their conversation would be very boring for anyone not into cars far larger than they need to be, but at least they'd have fun.
While the AI has generated a person for each car, some of them are committing unforgivable crimes against fashion.
Mr Tesla appears to have fashioned a leopard-print carpet into a coat, though nothing is going to distract from that awful choice of moustache.

And it's not taken long for people to flood to the post to weigh in on the AI's results.
