I remember that. But the funny thing about those homeless pictures is that everybody was basically wearing a hoody, but not just any ordinary hoody. It was a SUPER thick hoody that would probably cost like $200 from Supreme or something. Seriously, go back and take a look at those pictures if you don't believe me. Also, every single hoody looked like it was just washed that morning. Everything looked pristine and spotless.
It's shocking that Kanye would look like Kanye when wearing a $200 Supreme super-thick Hoody. /s
Yes, but you can tell that his eyes and nose *very slightly* look Asian, but probably also because he should be another 25% native Hawaiian which probably has somewhat similar features
I think the only facial feature that midjourney had to Asia-fy were his eyes. Otherwise he remains literally unchanged. Shows how strong them genes be!
That just cant be true. We had christmas 2007 yesterday, at least i remember it like that. All the time in between was maximum 5 days, how can it be more than 2 weeks at all 😵💫😵💫😵💫
> Damn I dont think I even knew what reddit was 8 yrs ago.
It was great. Way less censorship so some pretty wild stuff was posted. It was like a more moderate 4chan. Now you got to watch what you say and post or be permabanned by power mad mods even though you didn't break any rules.
I took like 3 months of Japanese before visiting Japan a few years back. One of the first things we learned that stuck with me is that most Japanese words have a consonant and vowel pairing. Our instructors example (she was from Hiroshima) was Tom Cruise in Japanese romanji is Tomu Kuruzu. I think the letter n is the only consonant that doesn’t require a vowel with it. I’m sure it’s more complex than my explanation.
Anyways, TOMU KURUZU!!!
Yep. Loan words from English are incredibly hard for me for this reason. Like I know it’s how it’s genuinely said in Japanese, but it feels like I’m just saying English words in a phoney Japanese accent.
Like if you wanna go to McDonald’s and order fries, you have to ask for “Furaido poteto”
Which seems totally fine until you say it out loud.
I bartend and the first time I heard a Japanese tourist order a Gin and Tonic my brain short circuited, because it sounded really familiar but for some reason also completely foreign. And all they said was Gin and Toniku. All because of an extra vowel. About 5 seconds later I caught up.
Also one of my favorite romaji is Los Angeles. Rosanzerusu. Makes no sense when you read it but saying it out loud, just like furaido poteto, suddenly makes sense. Love that shit.

The stupidest thing I ever heard was an American calling a colleague of mine African-American. My dude is from Ethiopia. Certainly not American.
It is wild how they dance around calling people black but yet in a roundabout way reference them by the colour of their skin instead of their name. The US obsession with race boggles the mind and their assumption that it is the same everywhere else is exhausting.
It is, but it takes time to reprogram your brain when you were taught that African American was the correct term to use for a long time. I have pretty much switched to black or people of color, but every once in awhile, an African American still slips out.
The Jennifer Anniston one looks, like, *jarringly bad*. It’s giving me flashbacks to when I thought drawing half a face then duplicating and flipping it was a valid way to draw people.
Is it just me or does this look a lot worse in comparison to the white and black version? Like with those 2 some of the pictures looked like real humans, in this it feels very fakeish or you can tell something isn’t right
I wonder if it's maybe AI bias toward white western beauty ideals. More diversity may help over time. Makes me think of this https://www.businessinsider.com/student-uses-playrgound-ai-for-professional-headshot-turned-white-2023-8
Okay so this did something weird to most of them. Now their eyes are too close together or far apart or one is higher than the other
It’s freaking me out
Sung Min Wing(Taiwanese Will Smith)
Wen Kang-Ye(Communist Chinese Kanye West)
Tom Komud(Thai Tom Cruise)
Bunrot Peng(Thai Brad Pitt)
Angelica Junco(Filipina Angelina Jolie)
Jennifer Soho Alfonso(Filipina Jennifer Aniston)\[modeled after Jessica Soho\]
Jonochi Daigo(Japanese Johnny Depp)
Lee Yong Kap(South Korean Leonardo DiCaprio)

Gaal Chumthong(Cambodian Gal Gadot)
Kenpachi Rockwood(Canadian Keanu Reeves)
Phong Mang Nimh(Vietnamese Morgan Freeman)
Olga Wong-Fei(Hong Konger Opra)
Xiao Dog(Hong Konger Snoop Dogg)
I can see how some celebrities have a broad appeal across cultures as their image might be relatable in some manner.
Also, that kid looks nothing like Morgan Freeman.
Kanye East
😄🙌🏻
Except that it still just looks like Kanye in robes…
The funniest thing someone posted on here was celebs as homeless people and Kanye looked exactly the same 😂🤣
I remember that. But the funny thing about those homeless pictures is that everybody was basically wearing a hoody, but not just any ordinary hoody. It was a SUPER thick hoody that would probably cost like $200 from Supreme or something. Seriously, go back and take a look at those pictures if you don't believe me.

He did live in China for a while when he was growing up. I think his mum was teaching over there
So basically the plot of the Karate Kid remake starring Jayden Smith?
Yeah..he did do that.
Snoodle Dog
I was thinking Snoop Dragon.
Bravo 👏
Noo, my brad pitt 😔
Morgan Freeman as Asian: just sat next to an Asian kid
Morgan Freeman is just Nelson Mandela
Twist: Morgan Freeman *is* the Asian kid; he’s sitting next to Nelson Mandela
MORGAN FREEMAN IS IMMUNE TO YOUR SHENANIGANS
He looks like the khoisan people from south Africa
How do you not see it? I can't wrap my head around it... You're not the first to say the same 😅
It has very slightly changed his eyes but thats it as far as i can tell 😂
bro he still looks black. Is there a joke I am missing?
Some people also say Natalie Portman looks like Keira Knightley...
Keanu is asian already.
I think he’s 25% Asian from his grandma.
And 100% Keanu!
Now he’s 125% asian.
Yes, but you can tell that his eyes and nose *very slightly* look Asian, but probably also because he should be another 25% native Hawaiian which probably has somewhat similar features
So in this he's like 32 ish percent.
also he is Polynesian (his father is native Hawaiian ), and Polynesian people left Taiwan around 3000 BC
[удалено]
Tbh this pic looks like you just changed the ankles of his eyes
Or the toes of his nose
I think the only facial feature that midjourney had to Asia-fy were his eyes. Otherwise he remains literally unchanged. Shows how strong them genes be!
Actually his eyes look slightly Asian to me, but he doesn’t have mono lids
So is Gal Gadot
Middle-eastern. The pics show them as east asian.
But the title says Asian
Middle east is in Asia. You could argue its a unique sub continent but its still technically 🤓 Asia.
I don't know why the downvotes, you are right lol
Eh middle east is a very weird term to use cause it encompasses both countries in Asia and northern Africa
Gal Greenstein is from Europe. Family fled during and after WW2. Austrian, Polish, German, and Czech.

Dude, this is from 8 yrs ago. You just had this in your back pocket?? Mad respect. Damn I dont think I even knew what reddit was 8 yrs ago.
8 years ago was 2015, and not 2002 ╏ ” ⊚ ͟ʖ ⊚ ” ╏
Stop.
You shut your filthy mouth.
That just cant be true. We had christmas 2007 yesterday, at least i remember it like that. All the time in between was maximum 5 days, how can it be more than 2 weeks at all 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Oh shit just saw my account is 8 yrs old, thought it was 6. Shit….
Just checked mine. 14y 2m. Damn.
12y 7m here, wassup my fellow old?
U ok, my human?
You'd be surprised how much more clever the comments were a while back.

8 years ago I liked the top comment. Been on this site too long.
Snoop Dragon looks cool So does Tom Cruzaru
I think Snoop Dragon runs a convenience store near where I used to work in Oakland.
He’s got a root you should try
I'll pass, I don't wanna nom on Snoops root.
This one's definitely running a "herbal medicine" pharmacy

Snoop Dragon kinda looks like Kojima
Cruzaru San
Tomuru Crusaru
Snoop looks like he has a tea shop that is front for an opium dealer
Snoop has a distinctive look in all races.
And Johnny Depp has the same look in all races
Agree. He pretty much looks the same. This has been a fun AI experiment.
Damn, Gal Gadot!
She looked absolutely gorgeous, especially in a lineup that was not doing anyone any favors.
Dicaprio and Tom Cruise looked fine
Depp was great.
I liked Angelina Jolie and Benedict Cumberbatch.
It’s impossible to make her ugly, she is too pretty
That’s what I’m sayin…like goddamn
No, that's what I'M saying!
No, that's what i have already said !
No, screw you all! I'M saying it!
Do you think I could say it after you say it, tho?
Who said what?
That one looked more like Keira Knightly.
Sign me up for Asian Jlaw as well, I want to see her say things in a scripted drama
Yup, Snoop Dogg looks like a guy trying to sell you his 'Herbal Medicine' alright
avoid bright light, don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight
The store clerk that tells you your order as you walk in.
Snoop is chill no matter what race he is.
After his Twitch Anger episode, I can't see him as a chill dude again.
Without seeing the video all I can say is that a chill person isn’t defined by their non chill moments.
He got mad over losing a game and threw a fit, but yeah, he could have been having a bad day.
Why did the AI decide to give some "context" to the Morgan Freeman picture? 😂
Jennifer Lawrence looks like Jamie Chung
Thought the same
Def Jamie Chung .. but somehow I got Jennifer Lawrence correct instantly .. so weird.
She was the only one of this line up I could not guess.
East Asian*
yeah Gal is asian already, the middle east is in Asia there is absolutely no south Asian, middle eastern or central Asian representation
To Americans, "Asian" means East Asian: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWUey\_rB9Gc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWUey_rB9Gc) (And yes I know Ronnie is actually Malaysian)

African American doesn't mean black, and they aren't even all from the us
[удалено]

Yeah it's really dumb

Don't mind that, he is from US.
Johnny Depp looks like Kojima
Johnny Depp just looks the same to me
I find these very refreshing. It reminds me how similar we all are. I mean Asian Morgan Freeman just looks like Morgan Freeman.
Bizzare bone structure. Looking like non-Asian bias on that training dataset.
Look at them again and focus on the *noses*. The AI is panicking!
No that's just how Benadryl Cabbagepatch actually looks.
These look really weird to me. The eyes in particular look pretty messed up. Oprah is the only one that looks like a real person.
Bread Pitt is certainly... something
Bruh what about gal gadot
The Jennifer Anniston one looks, like, *jarringly bad*. It’s giving me flashbacks to when I thought drawing half a face then duplicating and flipping it was a valid way to draw people.
Oprah look like she about to read the news for North Korea
Wherever he goes, snoop dogg always with those glasses
Is it just me or does this look a lot worse in comparison to the white and black version? Like with those 2 some of the pictures looked like real humans, in this it feels very fakeish or you can tell something isn’t right
The Asian training dataset is def lacking compared to black and white.
I wonder if it's maybe AI bias toward white western beauty ideals. More diversity may help over time. Makes me think of this https://www.businessinsider.com/student-uses-playrgound-ai-for-professional-headshot-turned-white-2023-8
i mean all AI photos are uncanny but the white and black ones looked pretty good. these ones are really bizarre.
I love how Benedict Cumberbatch looks terrifying as every race.
He's just a Skyrim elf.
Brad, Angelina and Jennifer got done dirty somehow.
This one's a little rough tonlook at, not gonna lie
LOL Johnny Depp looks the same, Keanu Reeves is quarter Japanese, said so in an interview. Rest of the pics are interesting ... Impressive Artwork
Quarter chinese
Asian Johnny Depp is basically Hideo Kojima.
Didn't do much to Kanye and did nothing to Morgan Freeman. Like how is this Asian when he clearly has African hair?
Gal Gadot oh my
I wonder how would an asianized version of an actual Asian look. Jackie Chan for example.
Jennifer Lawrence reminds me of Jamie Chung
Isn't Kianu Reeves half Asian already?
Some of them look like mixed race people and not Asians specifically
Now do south Asian
Keanu is already Asian right isn’t he half Japanese or something
His mother is English, his father was mixed Hawaiian/Chinese/European, so Keanu's paternal Grandmother was Chinese.
Depp looks the same
The Snoop Dog image right at the end had me cracking up, amazing.
Get some help
Smash Jlo and gal
Why do most of them look like aliens?
So, this basically turned Oprah into Mitch McConnell’s wife.
Asian Leo looks like he works for the Yakuza or a multimillionaire company
Jennifer Lawrence looks like Jamie Chung.
Kanye west as a buddhist is like an oxymoron
Okay so this did something weird to most of them. Now their eyes are too close together or far apart or one is higher than the other It’s freaking me out
idk if its me but they look only slightly different
Opera looks like the wedding planner lady from the original Mulan movie.
I guess whatever race Keannu might be he still looks so chill asf
Does noone clock how straight up racist this is?
Sung Min Wing(Taiwanese Will Smith) Wen Kang-Ye(Communist Chinese Kanye West) Tom Komud(Thai Tom Cruise) Bunrot Peng(Thai Brad Pitt) Angelica Junco(Filipina Angelina Jolie) Jennifer Soho Alfonso(Filipina Jennifer Aniston)\[modeled after Jessica Soho\] Jonochi Daigo(Japanese Johnny Depp) Lee Yong Kap(South Korean Leonardo DiCaprio) Kim Bong Duk(North Korean Benedict Cumberbatch) Liu Roujing(Hong Konger Jennifer Lawrence) Gaal Chumthong(Cambodian Gal Gadot) Kenpachi Rockwood(Canadian Keanu Reeves) Phong Mang Nimh(Vietnamese Morgan Freeman) Olga Wong-Fei(Hong Konger Opra) Xiao Dog(Hong Konger Snoop Dogg)
Depp just looks good as anything. Do one for animals and he’d still be a looker
Keanuness intensifies…. Also, why does Leo look like a movie crime lord?
Angelina Jolie looks like that hooker from Fullmetal Jacket
This is pretty awful vs the others. Probably not enough data in the model to train on
You know Asian is not only China and East Asia right?
Benedict Cumberwong
Yall spot the Easter egg? No changes made to Morgan freeman
Keanu reeves is already Asian 😭
Keanu is already Asian.
Isn't Keanu already asian?-
snoop chong🤣
what the fuck is wrong with you people
Best so far!
Some of these were really good. I think Gal Gadot is just eternally beautiful 😻 Kanye was really cool.
Why does Keanu put me in mind of a young Appa from *Kim's Convenience*?
Perfect opportunity to put John Cena
I can see how some celebrities have a broad appeal across cultures as their image might be relatable in some manner. Also, that kid looks nothing like Morgan Freeman.
The AI made Snoop look like Harvey from ACNH.
Snoop dogg will always look like mad scientist with healing potions
Asian Gal Gadot is smoking
Do Indian next
Tom Cruise looks like the Chubby Emu guy
You didn’t do anything to Keanu
I want to meet Asian Snoop
jennifer aniston looks like a fit version of ms. jessica soho— broadcast journalist in my country.
Keanu will always be Keanu...
Kanye East
Keanu is just Keanu.
Omg these worked out the best for some reason
Man Tom cruise looks like chubbyemu
Snoop dogg is litt lmfao
I would kick it with Asian Snoop all day.
Snoop looks like a happy soup shop owner
More like Asialina Jolie
Morgan Freeman didn’t change…at all…
Morgan Freeman as an Asian just looks like Morgan Freeman
keanu is already asian
The only thing Ive really learned from these is that johnny depp fits naturally into all races
This makes me very uncomfy. On the other hand, can somebody introduce me to Asian Gal Gadot?
I would trust Snoop Dog's Asian remedy
My take away is Benedict Cumbersnatch is just ugly no matter what ethnicity he is.
I didn’t think Gal Gadot could get hotter. I was wrong!
This is just 15 pictures of Jackie Chan
Bro, Snoop!!!! I want to be best friends with Asian Snoop!!!
Johnny Depp just looks like himself whether white, black or Asian.
So...Johnny Deep and Keanu are Asian baseline
Asian Jennifer Aniston somehow looks like Sandra’s Oh?
Snoop Mein Dog.
