It seems like only yesterday that the world sat around, wondering when this whole artificial intelligence thing would seem more intelligent and less artificial. Sure, Siri and Alexa were fun, but those felt more like gimmicks compared to the future we were promised by our trustworthy Sci-Fi pastime! Then suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, shockingly functional AI came crashing onto our social timelines as if by a coordinated assault on humanity: images, language models, music, video… you can even train AI on a person’s voice and have them say whatever you input.
Given access to such power, naturally, we put the robots to good use, reimagining some of the cigar industry’s most prominent personalities as they’ve always meant to be seen, but were limited to their mortal representations due to technological restraints… until now!
Sure, it’s potentially dangerous (and most likely the beginning of the end of mankind), but that’s a risk we’re willing to take… for entertainment’s sake!
