The many weird AI depictions of Michael Saylor
Headline. The many weird AI depictions of Michael Saler published at 108 p.m. September 26, 2024, on Protos.com. MicroStrategy co-founder and high-profile Bitcoin cheerleader Michael Saler has posted almost 500 AI-generated pro-Bitcoin images to X, formerly Twitter, since February 2023. Saler's love for the currency is no secret. His entire business model was seemingly based around buying up vast quantities. But there's something else that he loves to include in the images plastered all over his social media feeds, himself. Specifically, himself re-imagined as a raft of alternative sailors. In the roughly 473 AI-generated images posted to X, he's recast himself, Barbie-style, as Dr. Saler, rock climber Saler, bowling Saler, race car driver Saler, surfer Saler, president Saler, fast-food worker Saler, and professor Saler. He's even depicted himself as a levitating monk. In his president Saler image, he even appears in the crowd, not once, but three times. There doesn't appear to be a fortune teller Saler. Surprising given that at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, he predicted the currency would reach $13 million by 2045. It's currently just under $64,000. Strange though they are, there is one thing you can say about Saler's AI portraits. Unlike other AI abominations, he always seems to have five fingers. This is a small sliver of light for an industry whose biggest player, OpenAI, is reportedly set to make an operational loss of $5 billion this year. This recording was AI-generated.
