The 1990s American high-school yearbook portrait — feathered hair, varsity jacket, cloudy studio backdrop — generated from selfies by the EPIK app and posted by seemingly everyone in late September 2023. The record's entry for the week the entire internet graduated from the same school in 1997.
AI Yearbook. Born September 2023, peaked 2023, dead by October 2023. Cause on file: overexposure. It was funny once, and that once was enough for a lot of people.
I saw forty AI Yearbook portraits in a single evening in September 2023 and recognised none of the people in them, including the ones I knew. The record notes the app charged a few dollars for this, and that we paid.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
