Twenty years ago a teacher of mine had the whole class do a quizz on what qualities we saw on the rest of class.
Based on the answers she made each of us a card with a picture and a list of positive traits. My card had a bunch of items, which surprised me a lot given how much of an unfit I was in that class.
Years later I met her daughter in a metal gig. She raised a beautiful family.
It's nice getting complements, and we often don't hear them directly. Thus, it can boost someone's morale to have their good qualities listed out for them, especially by their peers.
I'm specifically curious about how the quiz worked. Was it multiple choice? What it per person? The class as a whole? Did you write the names in and write in a trait? I'm having a hard time visualizing the quiz, bc I'm very dumb :(
I had to do a quiz where there were questions like: āwho dressed the bestā, āwho was the best teamplayerā, and also things like āwho will be the first to start a familyā. You had to write down the names of your classmates.
I guess this is also how that quiz worked.
My nephew's teacher did this for him too. She basically asked the class to describe each of their classmates with one word and then made a word cloud based on the descriptors. It's a pretty cool concept
> How did this even work? I'm curious
I think it was "a teacher of mine had the whole class do a quizz on what qualities we saw on the rest of class.
Based on the answers she made each of us a card with a picture and a list of positive traits."
I think so too. I kept that card for many years.Ā
From sixth grade to the end of high school I hadn't settled on a career path. The picture wouldn't have been as relevant to me.Ā
Oh wow, this just reminded me of my Year 12 Psychology class. We passed pieces of paper around with our names on, and each person wrote a positive trait about you. By the time your paper came back, you had 20+ compliments. It made me feel a very special way, as I was struggling with self-esteem and identity. 10+ years later, I still have the piece of paper.
What! They didn't show the picture for the one that got the biggest reaction! (Girl in red-orange shirt towards the end when there is 24 seconds left to the video)
Girl at 1:04 apparently dreams of growing up to be a firefighter who poses for photographs while someone's house burns down in the background.
Seriously though, awesome idea.
Every child needs a teacher who cares for them and not violent mine beatef me million times and accused me of being gay in 3rd grade . Life was shit back then .
Because ai is generally racist. Sample sizes cause minorities to be underrepresented in ai creations because it's trained on human data. Additionally, all of these seem to be positive positions, and ai is notorious for being influenced by stereotypes and bigotry, so it incorporates that and looks at the child, hears doctor, looks at its data, sees mostly white people, and makes the child whiter.
because they use custom trained stable diffusion model. it's not just random sample size but deliberate bias in these models, some are skewed towards asian and others caucasian after the finetuning. The default is pale skin and you have to prompt for dark skin.
That was a result of a deliberate attempt to counteract racial bias in training sets. And the AI doesn't likely factor in exceptions for historical accuracy lol.
"Hey Google, stop being racist and making everyone white"
..."okay please enjoy these black Nazis".
"Google wtf that's not cool"
"WHAT DO YOU EVEN WANT FROM ME?!?!?!"
The latest episode of the podcast [The happiness lab](https://www.drlauriesantos.com/happiness-lab-podcast) with Dr. Laurie Santos is titled *"Does the You of Today Hate the You of Tomorrow?"* and in the episode she discusses positive sides of getting generated future self images like the children here are given.

You can build AI models of individuals using StableDiffusion. It's how I made post-op transition pictures of trans individuals to show them what their future might look like.
Yes, let's be amazed at using the worst technology to be inflicted on humanity since gunpowder to show kids how they'll fit into the capitalist war machine! Woohooo!!
I'm a fucking commie and i found this wholesome. It doesn't hurt to see kids with shit everyday lives have some hope, even if that hope was shaped by the system they were born in. Are you that pissed to see people happy? or do you hate capitalism significantly more than me?
Okay that is really cute.
Like some of the boys she had them in military uniforms or police uniforms. However I ponder, she definitely had some of the boys in prison outfits?
Like āthis one is a terror, prison fits. No no, thatās bad. Okay, artist or poet. He will probably be homeless and thatās what poets can pass forā
"Here's a picture of me when I was younger."
"Man, every picture of you is a picture when you were younger"
"Here's a picture of me when I'm older"
"Whoa, let me see that camera."
Most cringe shit ever and i'd be disgusted to find out a teacher of my kid thought it was appropriate to do this to a photo of them - why do you have a photo of my kid? Why are you putting it onto an AI software? No thanks. You can all think this is sweet but its haunting and nothing cute about it.
Wow, a video of a teacher giving children higher chances of an identity crisis while also giving their faces to shady websites and stealing art amongst other things.
To be clear, I'm not accusing the teacher of anything, I'm sure this was done with pure intention
This is a great way to use Ai and Iām so proud these kids have such high ambitions. Im not sure if the rumors are true but i heard most kids in America want to become YouTubers or influencers. I hope this is not true..
The teacher did a great job and hopefully this will help make their dreams more tangible
I think this is a great idea because I didn't think about growing up. I thought it would never happen, and didn't consider a future. Nobody asked me, or my sister's, parents were quite interesting people I'm not sure how they missed this but they were just an older generation I guess, lacking some of the basic emotional intelligence stuff.
But actually I just got my degree at 51yo, it really was that bad that I didn't think I would be able to get a good education until I got much more confident.
I think it's strange that I never thought about what I would be when I grew up- all I remember was my favourite toy was the phone and I thought it would be great to be a receptionist so that I could talk to my friends all day on the phone and talk about clothes or things like that! I still find it almost impossible to take the degree to the next level and get a proper job if I can. I would like to have seen a photo like this to show me the I would become an adult just like the ones in my family- I just thought adults were like aliens and no relevance on planet earth at all. :-/
One kid wanting to be German police officer? š
Eins Zwei Polizei
Drei Vier Dekadier
Grenadier
FĆ¼nf, sechs, alte Hexā Edit: Keks to Hexā
sieben acht gute nacht
Keks = Biscuit Hex(e) = Witch It's Hex not Keks
Jesus, I was convinced for 6 years it was Keks. Thank you!
Putting the fear in the funf

He wanted to be an American cop. But... well maybe I will withhold the jokes on this one.
STOP RESISTING. GET DOWN ON THE GROUND.
It's not like we haven't heard it a million times
She even did one for the kid who wants to become military dictator!
Hope they all achieve their dreams.
Sadly he will fail the military academy and become a well recognized painter
His name will be Hitler Adolf
Happy cake day š Im taking my slice š° Thanks.
Ze happy Cake day my friend
I for one canāt wait to fight in his war
Get ready to die on that hill then.
Capitol?
Yes, glory to that kid!
Straight to jail
That's the problem with these damn gen z kids. Killing the military dictatorship industry!!!
This is how she ensures her survival under his regime
She's playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers
I can respect the kid wanting to grow up to be like Idi Amin / Colonel Gaddafi.
More like M Bison I bet
We are the bad guys?
Of Course!
And the one kid who will migrate to Germany to join Ze Polizei
Don't let your ai memes be dreams
In the future would eliminating this teacher become the new 'killing baby Hitler' question?
Shouldāve rejected her request and removed her from the school. They will make him one step closer to his dream
I started reading comments as soon as that popped up on screen, hilarious honestly! It took me completely offguard
That was hilarious š
Hopefully his art grades are up there
Two of them were the exact same picture.
She wanted to be her.
She'd like to take her face... [off...](https://youtu.be/BIyvSKCnBnk?si=sB0-5BHiUyzlhOt9)
No more drugs... for *that* man!
I could eat a peach for hours.
This is turning into a real marriage.
Desk girl and doctor girl both were just copies š
And it resembled neither of them. Also, why show them one after another like that. Those girls got ripped off.
The faces are different. They we're just being lazy with the base image that had the same occupations.
There were a couple that were duplicates.
That means they have to have a deathmatch to become their future _One shall stand, One shall fall_

So what do you think that teacher did in that scenario?

> How did this even work? I'm curious I think it was "a teacher of mine had the whole class do a quizz on what qualities we saw on the rest of class. Based on the answers she made each of us a card with a picture and a list of positive traits."
That's way better and different than showing them weird pictures and setting impossible standards for their future
I think so too. I kept that card for many years.Ā From sixth grade to the end of high school I hadn't settled on a career path. The picture wouldn't have been as relevant to me.Ā

Well what was it?? š
Kraken. Devourer of worlds.
Redditors consistently make me blow air through my nose. Thank you.
Reddit, the nose unclog machine
In Tunisia my country š¹š³
Tunisia? I was thinking it was India or Bangladesh.
No no itās in Tunisia. It went viral a couple of weeks ago here in Tunisia š¹š³
I think it might be Tunisia. Just a hunch.
I thought it might be Threenisia for a second, but nope. Definitely Tunisia.
They're speaking Arabic in the video so Tunisia makes a lot more sense.
It's actually Tunindiadesh.
Why did I google this thinking it was a real place
because you're British
Very cool! The kids looked great and so happy! I hope for the best for their future! (Yours too!)
Growing up, I was the ugly looking kid in my class in India. But, everyone in this video looks good. It that normal for Tunisia?
Girl at 1:04 apparently dreams of growing up to be a firefighter who poses for photographs while someone's house burns down in the background. Seriously though, awesome idea.
She doesn't want to be a firefighter, she wants to be an arsonist with an alibi
I saw that a few months ago in Korea; There was a firefighter taking wedding photos at the scene of a car accident.
How many girls got the same doctor pic? 4 or smth?
ran out of paid credits lol
Wow, look at that smile on their faces, this teacher deserves an award!
Every child needs a teacher who cares for them and not violent mine beatef me million times and accused me of being gay in 3rd grade . Life was shit back then .
Jesus Christ, where did you go to school?
Aww man . Sorry
What a scumbagā¦ Iām sorry this happened to you. I hope youāre in a better place now!
Will be in a few days thanks š
Literally had me smiling the entire time and I watched it twice. This is actually a really, really, neat idea if executed properly.
POLIZEI!
Why do they all look whiter?
It was their ambition /s
Because ai is generally racist. Sample sizes cause minorities to be underrepresented in ai creations because it's trained on human data. Additionally, all of these seem to be positive positions, and ai is notorious for being influenced by stereotypes and bigotry, so it incorporates that and looks at the child, hears doctor, looks at its data, sees mostly white people, and makes the child whiter.
because they use custom trained stable diffusion model. it's not just random sample size but deliberate bias in these models, some are skewed towards asian and others caucasian after the finetuning. The default is pale skin and you have to prompt for dark skin.
I mean or you have the Google ai which made Nazis black.
That was a result of a deliberate attempt to counteract racial bias in training sets. And the AI doesn't likely factor in exceptions for historical accuracy lol.
"Hey Google, stop being racist and making everyone white" ..."okay please enjoy these black Nazis". "Google wtf that's not cool" "WHAT DO YOU EVEN WANT FROM ME?!?!?!"
I would like to look whiter too!
This is actually an amazing use of AI

Sal Khan is a legend for recognizing the usefulness of it for education in a country with less teachers available.
Reminds me of how we were told āYou can be anybody you want to be as long as you keep trying!ā. Nope.
Reminds me of this joke [https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/ghd6xi/i\_dressed\_up\_as\_a\_gifted\_kid\_for\_halloween/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/ghd6xi/i_dressed_up_as_a_gifted_kid_for_halloween/)
This is so sweet. I'd imagine it has an incredible impact too.
It all starts with believing in yourself. This will probably be a core memory for many of those kids
Giving them the photo must be good inspiration for them
A few of those kids grabbed their picture like a lifeline. Very positive video; I hope they all make it.
The ones who become junkies will be very disappointed.
And the ones who lose their hair
Yeah, thats dark man.
Yeah. Itās an acquired taste
Same image duplicated there so some kids have no future ??
They merge in the future. Also become more white.
ai makes them more white lol
"Teacher why am I a shade lighter"
I remember my guidance counselor telling me I couldnāt be an engineer. Sad part is I believed em.
I'm not the biggest fan of uploading the kids pictures on international commercials database in general.
Wow, inspirational AI art
Whatās up with the arsonist posing as a firefighter?
Cute and equally dystopian af fr
Such a cute idea that violates all data protection laws of children and juveniles.
This is cool, but the title is cap. AI isn't used; they are model pics-and the same one is used for more than one female student.
There's definitely some AI in there, you can tell by the odd differences that wouldn't be in normal pictures like super-smooth skin and odd lighting
Because of the teacher's arabic dialect, this seems to be in Tunisia. I *love* how the kids support and celebrate each other! š„°
Why are the kids in the future way whiter? š
Thatās really sweet, but I can imagine if I were a kid in that situation, that photo would come to haunt me as I aged.
I love the idea. It must have motivated the students a lot to find a good job in the future. I also like their smiles. They look happy.
Just awesome way to bring positive affirmation
The whole class canāt wait! Good teachers make a seismic impact.
Cool teacher
I hate this so much
how come
with which ai would you do this?
I assume stable diffusion, it has controlNet and other fancy stuff that allows you to control input images and it's free.
You can build AI models of individuals using StableDiffusion. It's how I made post-op transition pictures of trans individuals to show them what their future might look like.
I feel like this could give some weird Identity complexes
Especially when they find out that getting older didn't magically make them hot, white, and rich.
Yes, let's be amazed at using the worst technology to be inflicted on humanity since gunpowder to show kids how they'll fit into the capitalist war machine! Woohooo!!
Gunpowder is amazing technology
I'm a fucking commie and i found this wholesome. It doesn't hurt to see kids with shit everyday lives have some hope, even if that hope was shaped by the system they were born in. Are you that pissed to see people happy? or do you hate capitalism significantly more than me?
Where was the kid that wanted to be a f'ing influencer? š¤£
AI made one of the boys white as adult but other than that I loved seeing how happy they got.
Notice how all kids want roles that contribute to society. What do we lose when growing up?
Faith in ourselves and those around us I'd say
The last girl's shirt does not bode well for her future...
That's awesome and I think it could prove to be a big motivator for children.
Okay that is really cute. Like some of the boys she had them in military uniforms or police uniforms. However I ponder, she definitely had some of the boys in prison outfits? Like āthis one is a terror, prison fits. No no, thatās bad. Okay, artist or poet. He will probably be homeless and thatās what poets can pass forā
"Here's a picture of me when I was younger." "Man, every picture of you is a picture when you were younger" "Here's a picture of me when I'm older" "Whoa, let me see that camera."
Anyone notice the side she shows first is a picture of her and the student? Teachers like this deserve both sides of their pillows to be cold forever
Best teacher ever ! Helping them to visualize their hopes and dreams. Beautiful.
Those kids are in for a world of hurt, dreams almost never happen even if you do work for it
Unless Israel gets to them first. Justification: there was Hamas standing in the classroom corner.
This is brilliant!
this weirds me out
The firefighter best turn around and get to fighting that fire instead of posing for pics
Then Boom š„ , Israel hits them with a 2,000 lbs Bomb made in the USA . USA ! USA ! USA !
Based on the role that identity plays in behaviour, this is probably remarkably effective. Particularly at formative ages.
Love how this teacher personalizes motivation.
Future-focused teaching at its best!
Haha, give them hope. You sadistic prick haha
Can you also do a follow up 20yr later?
The career test always said I would be a bee keeper.
sort by controversial.
If I was one of these students, Iād feel insulted
I donāt know if I approve of a stranger picking my childās profession with AI. Recipe for disaster.
Am I the only one who thinks this is weird as hell and not necessarily a positive thing? Honestly fuck all AI images.
Hope teacher had parent and school permission to throw those underage children into AI.
That's fucked up
I wonder what the data protection laws of their country say about feeding an AI the pictures of children to generate them.
Most cringe shit ever and i'd be disgusted to find out a teacher of my kid thought it was appropriate to do this to a photo of them - why do you have a photo of my kid? Why are you putting it onto an AI software? No thanks. You can all think this is sweet but its haunting and nothing cute about it.
Imagine telling her you want to be a pole dancer.
I think it is Tunisia not Poland.
Wow, a video of a teacher giving children higher chances of an identity crisis while also giving their faces to shady websites and stealing art amongst other things. To be clear, I'm not accusing the teacher of anything, I'm sure this was done with pure intention
what site is taking faces?
facebook
Now I want to do this with my students. What program is this?
We truly are fucked
Straight up manipulation
Wow, and now those pictures are in a database to be used however, whenever and by whoever without parental permission. Yay!
Be amazed by crappy ai art
This is a great way to use Ai and Iām so proud these kids have such high ambitions. Im not sure if the rumors are true but i heard most kids in America want to become YouTubers or influencers. I hope this is not true.. The teacher did a great job and hopefully this will help make their dreams more tangible
This is probably the best use of AI I've seen so far
AI making them all look lighter skinned is rather shit though
I was more talking about the way it was used than the AI itself
Super.cool.teacher, you always remember the teachers who inspire you to.do.your best .
This is a really cool idea
That's extremely fucked up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Their little faces when they see the future pics is adorable
Pretty biased job choices though
This reminds me of the GOAT test haha
Wheres the pilot?
I think this is a great idea because I didn't think about growing up. I thought it would never happen, and didn't consider a future.

Even though it was almost 20 years ago, I can still remember the things teachers did for me years ago. Whether it was good or bad.
I was waiting for the one thatās a single mom with 5 kids or a cornstar
I like how the fire truck is on fire and sheās just posing for a picture
Brilliant idea. Certainly the kids loved it, and it's what matters.
