AI shows how celebrities would look like with ‘normal’ jobs

No, Will Smith isn’t actually working a fast-food job — yet.

But it’s easy to get confused, as a digital artist and filmmaker has whipped up a batch of lifelike photos of celebrities working normal jobs and living average lives through a high-powered artificial intelligence program.

The creator, Christian Smooth of Annapolis, Maryland, reimagined the lives of several A-listers, depicting Kim Kardashian as a nurse, Oprah as a shoe salesperson and billionaire Elon Musk living in a mobile home, in images of remarkable — and remarkably convincing — quality.

Smooth uses the program Midjourney — an AI tool that’s taking the art world by storm — to make his celeb shots look as realistic as they do, in a process taking under an hour, he told The Post.

“It takes about 30 minutes to get the prompt right, going over outfits and everything,” the 32-year-old said. “Actually producing the photos takes no time at all.”

The powerhouse interface was also used to create phony images of Donald Trump being arrested and Pope Francis sporting a Balenciaga coat — photos many members of the public assumed to be real.

In Smooth’s case, he decided to have fun and be creative with Midjourney’s latest version rather than spread fake news. He took to Instagram after seeing his celeb shots go viral on Facebook.

The results were, truly, hilarious.

In another post, Smooth placed a few celebrities, including Tekashi 6ix9ine, Denzel Washington and Steve Carell, into a school setting.

First up was “Mr. Takashi the guidance counselor getting jumped by a gang of students after it was revealed he told the principal about their candy operation.”

That image was soon followed up with “Principal Washington addressing the student body about the Mr. Takeshi incident.”

Then, lastly, assistant principal Carell is shown being bombarded with water balloons.

Smooth also jumped in the ring to depict boxers Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson in surreal states. The greatest was reimagined as a Brooklyn rapper while the new Tyson, erm, evokes the likeness of Winnie the Pooh.

And audiences can’t seem to get enough of it.

“I’ve been getting a bunch of attention, like [these pics] were my baby,” Smooth said. “It’s been crazy and really funny.”
