Think of what the “average couple” from San Francisco looks like.  Go ahead and close your eyes, dream it up.  Is it an actual couple you know who lives there perhaps? Is it a combination of famous faces you identify with the city?  A newscaster and a famous athlete?  Maybe it’s a tech bro and an artist?  Are you asking yourself, “What the fuck is ‘average’?” Anyway?

Now stop thinking!  We have supercomputers to do all of that for us these days, right here in San Francisco. Hell, Chatgbt has its headquarters just down the street.  Who better to ask than your friendly, neighborhood super-computer which has already collected millions of images from every location in the Bay Area, and diligently labeled and filed them all away, just for this occasion?

We asked Dall-E 2 (Chatgbt’s eyes) to generate images of the “average couple” from each major city in the Bay Area.  The results are a perfect blend of parts and locations, melted down and re-assembled for your viewing pleasure.   It’s as if Dr. Frankenstein was digitized and asked to be a ghost in the machine.

Enjoy.

San Francisco

Nailed it!

Daly City

Every Day!

Cupertino

Accept no substitutes!

We would have kept asking the Frankenstein machine to give us couples from every Bay Area town, but we ran out of ‘free tokens’, ( we assume ‘tokens’ are what the machine eats in order to keep making monsters).  But if you’d like to play the image game, Dall E 2 is waiting, it quite literally never sleeps…
