In case you’ve been living under a rock, AI is really taking off right now. With the release of GPT-4 a few weeks ago and the very first text-to-video generator being made publicly available, the internet has been simultaneously inundated with the expansive possibilities of these new technologies and their very funny by-products.
One such example is the re-imagining of popular tv shows to include Snoop Dogg in their cast.
Recently, in a set of 20 images posted to Twitter by user @DJRTistic, Snoop was inserted into a plethora of shows including Seinfeld, The Office, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian and even The Golden Girls. The AI artwork was credited to Larry-Fine-Wine (aka the next Banksy).

The images are truly precious and represent some of the internet’s more wholesome uses (hopefully Snoop thinks so too). Some even argued that the activity of re-casting Snoop in classic shows is actually a “best use case” for AI. And I have to agree.
