AI creates what 'average person' looks like for each job and it's divided opinion

AI creates what 'average person' looks like for each job and it's divided opinion

Is your job in there?

AI has been causing a stir in recent months with its depictions of how various people might look.

And now technology has conjured up its take on the 'average person' in various job roles. Take a look:

Whether it's people from different countries, or an image of a 'beautiful' person, it's fair to say that some of the images generated as a result of this have been controversial.

Now, another round of unusual images has come into the forefront after Buzzfeed instructed an AI model to put out images of people who do different jobs.

The results are certainly interesting - take a look to see if your line of work is featured below, or watch the video above to see the full set:

Accountants

Remember, all accountants must wear glasses.
Buzzfeed

Waiters

Speaking from personal experience, you are never that happy to be on your feet day after day doing 10 hour shifts.
Buzzfeed

Baristas

Are either of these the face you see when going in for your daily iced oat latte?
Buzzfeed

Personal trainers

The most accurate yet, so good looking and in shape are most personal trainers that I attend to avoid the gym completely.
Buzzfeed News

Chefs

They look much too smiley to be chefs. What would Gordon Ramsay have to say?
Buzzfeed

Retail employees

Ooo, so cool, so edgy. These retail workers definitely work in Urban Outfitters.
Buzzfeed

Doctors

Channeling a slight David Tennant look there.
Buzzfeed


Again, apparently to work as a software developer you must wear glasses.
Buzzfeed

Real estate agents

Would you buy a house off these two? Only joking, it's a cost of living crisis, who can afford a house!
Buzzfeed

Therapists

Why does he look like every creepy therapist in every horror movie?
Buzzfeed

Fast food employees

Coming soon to a McDonald's near you.
Buzzfeed

Teachers

If this is how quickly teaching ages you, count me out.
Buzzfeed

Firefighters

This looks like an advert for a very serious series of Station 19.
Buzzfeed

Flight attendants

Which airline do you think these two would work for?
Buzzfeed

Influencers

Molly-Mae's so good at using her 24 hours in a day I'm sure she could probably come up with something better than this.
Buzzfeed

Nurses

NHS staff are a lot more overworked than this.
Buzzfeed

News anchors

Piers Morgan eat your heart out.
Buzzfeed

Morticians

Very Charles Dickens.
Buzzfeed.

Lawyers

Would you let one of these two represent you in court?
Buzzfeed

Journalists

It's like looking in the mirror...
Buzzfeed

I feel duty bound to comment on the journalists, to confirm that yes all of us do indeed look exactly like the image here. Honest.

From predicting what every country will look like in the year 5,000 to creating an 'average person' in every US state, it feels like we're just at the beginning with the power of AI - something that'll no doubt be exciting to some, but utterly terrifying to others...
