LOVE AT FIRST SIGHTSome people still claim that
love at first sight is just a romantic myth, but
neuroscience completely disagrees. Your brain needs only a fraction of a second to fire up some
dopamine, kick the
reward system into gear, and run a lightning-fast scan of features, gestures, and movement. In that tiny moment—way before you “think” anything—your brain has already decided if someone pulls you in… and it decides hard. It’s not magic or poetry: it’s pure
biology working at full speed.
And then someone like
Dayane Soares shows up. With a woman like her, there’s nothing to debate and no scientific charts needed. Your brain knows instantly. One look, one move, a couple of seconds… and you’re
completely gone. You see her and everything clicks.

RANDOM AI-GENERATED IMAGES VOL25It’s funny how the mind works. Just a few months ago we were looking at these images wide-eyed, like someone watching a magic trick for the first time. And now, look at us: completely
used to them.
When the first images started appearing a couple of years ago, we all went a bit
crazy. Not because of the image itself — digital pictures have been around for many years — but because of
how they were made. The fact that an AI could create something like this just from a few lines of text really was a huge
statement.
It felt like it was going to change everything. And to be honest, I still think it’s going to
change everything. But the internet moves at such a wild speed that any new thing goes from “wow” to “meh” in just a few days. You wake up with something blowing your mind and, before you even process it, three new headlines have already pushed that feeling aside. It happens to all of us. We
get used to everything.
And that’s exactly what’s happening to me now. I look at these images and they no longer give me that first feeling of watching the
future sneak in through the screen. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s that they’ve become part of the background. As if this level of detail, skin, gaze and texture were the most normal thing in the world. Spoiler: it’s
not.
I’m convinced AI is
unstoppable and that we’ll eventually reach a point where we won’t know if what we’re seeing is a real woman or not.
And it won’t just be about what our eyes see: it’ll also be about what our ears hear and the conversations we have with them.
Maybe — and here’s the ironic part — we’ll still be able to spot them because it’ll feel a bit unrealistic that someone that insanely gorgeous is also that insanely
smart. But don’t worry, they’ll end up
refining that too. They’re already stepping away from absolute perfection to look more “homemade”, more “imperfect”, more “real”. And sooner or later they’ll also master that universal art of playing dumb at the right moment, just so we don’t start having
doubts.
In the end, this is just me rambling, thinking out loud. Nobody really knows what’s coming or when. But in the meantime, here we are, living through this hyper-speed era of progress with the privilege of watching it unfold from the front row.
Here’s a new batch of AI-generated images for you.
And, as always, I’ll be here waiting — with that same childlike curiosity — to see what the next
step up will look like.
