TikTok creator @himmortále has been making slideshows of original characters for tv shows and films that do not exist. One slideshow that has over 1.8 million views and 500k likes documents a fake 90’s MTV documentary about skaters. And the A.I. photos attached are turning women feral. 

“Get to know Matty, Fireball, Hayday, Jackieboy, Bobby, and Wally, as they skip school, go to parties, and skate the long summer hours away” reads the caption.

At first glance, you wouldn't be wrong to assume this was a real MTV documentary. But Google will not return results for Thrash House (1996), nor will it provide any information on the show's star, Matteo ‘Matty’ Cruz. That's because the documentary isn't real and the men were all created us A.I.-generators. 

“How could yall build me up just to crash me down,” comments one user. “Too fine to be real,” says another user.

In other videos, @himmortále has characters branching from old Hollywood crooners to Indie Sleaze era emo boys. The A.I.-generated men span multiple decades and genres.

It’s outstanding work. @himmortále edits the A.I.s by adding grain filters and cropping out the mangled hands, showing that if you approach A.I. with a little bit of care and creativity, you can make "people" that are actually believable. 

These fake skaters and Hollywood heartthrobs are in stark contrast to the A.I. hot girls we've come to associate with A.I.-generated imagery. 

Though it is pretty devastating to learn that the hottest man you’ve ever seen does not exist.
