If you can’t afford a vacation, an AI app will sell you pictures of one

The art of ‘manifestation’ is a practice that is gradually gaining popularity in various parts of the world, including Italy. It consists of building a belief so strong that it makes your desires come true, from the simplest to the most complex; it is recommended to act, behave and live as if these desires had already been realised, entering a reality where you already possess (not necessarily physically) what you long for.

The spread of this practice is easily identifiable on social media, where younger users often comment “manifesting!” under images or videos depicting positive experiences. On Facebook, however, this trend has taken a different path: several users have started using artificial image generators to create photographs depicting themselves on holiday.

Noticing this surprising use of technology, several applications aimed at generating precisely what has been mentioned have quickly sprung up, for modest and easily affordable prices. Basically, if you can't go on holiday, don't despair, there will always be artificial intelligence capable of generating photographs of a relaxed and happy version of yourself.
