Thanks to technology- AI mostly- that people these days are busy doing something that would have sounded purely Sci-Fi- if it would have been talked about a few years ago. Confused? Well, no longer do laymen need advanced editing skills to turn their images into anything and everything- quite literally. A Google AI trend- Gemini AI Saree Retro Photos- is currently all that people are talking about. For those not aware, users are simply using Gemini AI to create a retro version of their pictures. In the last few days, pictures of people and EVEN pets in esthetic attires took over social media, as everyone participated in the trend. The saree trend was hardly out of the ‘spotlight’, when yet another Google trend made it to the ‘main stage’– and is seemingly picking up pace; ‘Hug My Younger Self’ trend. Hug My Younger Self Trend: As the name suggests, the trend is simply where people are using AI to create a picture of their older version hugging their younger version. For the trend, a polaroid frame is what most are using, with a date written at the bottom- perhaps to further give it a nostalgic touch. Hug My Younger Self Trend Prompt: If you are someone who is looking for a way to join the bandwagon, here’s how you can do it– You will first have to download the app– Google Gemini. After downloading the app, you will be requested to Sign In using your Google account. Next, you will have to upload two pictures; one of your childhood, and another of your present self. Next, write this prompt – Click a cute polaroid picture of my older self hugging my younger self. The last step is quite simple, just generate the image and watch nostalgia hit you in a manner like never before. With netizens chiming in and trying the new trend, let’s take a look at some of the results: “Gemini helped me to hug my younger self,” a user read. “This trend is for the girls who grew up hating themselves,” added another. “Made myself hug my younger self. If i had seen this 5 years ago i would’ve been a mess but we’re more stable now ;p,” commented a third person.
