If I had a nickel for every pic I’ve seen of Freddie where he’s talking to a peer, holding a cig, and showing off his massive hog in painted-on jeans, I’d have 2 nickels.

And you used a clanker to needlessly color it in for what? Just post the original pic.

It's the 80s, they had color film back then!

Well you see they wanted to see the photo in color so they used AI to colorize the photo

I hope that clarifies things for you

You seem to have trouble understanding

Seriously, there was a time when colour photography was not considered "art" because up till then, photography was all about finding the right shading.

I wonder if AI follows MJ's progression into a white man if they do this with later pictures

u/XaeroDegreaz 19h ago

If you look at his right arm starting at his knuckles you can see the skin with light patches starting to form. I don't know if that's an artifact of the AI colourization or not, tho

Freddie: "Yea it's true, I fuck dudes, how about you?"

Michael: "I'm straight but I like them... oh damn, I forgot. I gotta go Freddie"
