Snapchat's AI Video Lenses: Because Reality Is Overrated
Bhavani Shankar • Technology
What Are AI Video Lenses?
In the beginning, Snapchat gave us puppy ears and rainbow puke. Now? It gives us full-blown digital makeovers, AI-powered face swaps, and the ability to turn into a glitchy anime banana at your grandma’s birthday.
How It Works (Allegedly)
Step 1: Open Snapchat.
Step 2: Choose an AI lens.
Step 3: Watch your face transform into something that could either be a Vogue model or an alien influencer.
Step 4: Question your identity.
The Impact on People
- Confidence Level: Skyrocketed – "I don't look this good in real life, but the internet doesn't need to know."
- Catfishing: Enhanced – "Swipe right and find out if I’m real... or AI-generated."
- Family Confusion: – “Why does your face look like an oil painting in every video?”
- Existential Crisis: – “Is this my face… or a filter with really good lighting?”
New AI Lens Categories (Totally Not Made Up)
- “Woke Up Like This” – For when you clearly didn’t.
- “Soft Goth Woodland Fairy” – Because moods are complicated.
- “Corporate LinkedIn Warrior” – Suit on top, pajama pants below.
- “1980s Glitch Villain” – Ideal for family reunions.
How Society Is Changing
Job interviews are now done entirely through AI lenses. Dating apps are just anime filters making small talk.
And your grandma’s group chat is full of talking flower-head videos with no explanation.
The Future?
We won’t even need real faces anymore. Just upload your “best self,” and let the AI handle the rest.
Bonus: No more bad hair days. Downside: You accidentally send your AI pirate alter ego to your boss.
Final Thoughts: May your selfies be flawless and your filters never crash 🤳🤖
