Dude, that's a real photo. I'll show you how to do it using foul.ai. First, train the model using the Flux Laura portrait trainer endpoint by uploading about 50 images of yourself looking sexy. Once trained, you'll get a model file with parameters representing you. Then run inference with a prompt like 'cool handsome Nick standing by a sunset wearing a mega cool suit' using the custom weights file you uploaded. The output may not look like you if the training data is poor; you may need to generate several variations before getting one that resembles you. In my case, I generated multiple images, removed the term 'handsome' because it made my jaw sharper and removed dark circles, resulting in a more accurate likeness. Finally, take the chosen image, pump it into Canva, remove the background, and you have the thumbnail.

I don't know what a Richard Millie is. Let's see. Okay, my internet is slow today. That is a Richard Millie. That's cool. I'm not really much of a watch guy, to be honest. I don't know how much this is—350,000? Yeah, that's a lot of money, man. You're pretty loaded, Sharky. And dude, every time I see you, you've got a new profile picture, bro. You're probably loaded, man. Oh, hell yeah, let's go. Dude, did you not have this up on your channel the last time I checked around here? That's legendary. Yeah. So, I don't know Shark Sway in person, but like this guy's man—I mean, that's some energy for sure. I like it. Okay.
