Oh, Claus will be released this Christmas – and it’s all thanks to AI.
The gift that keeps on giving, artificial intelligence has forever changed the way we shop, sleep, have sex, and socialize.
And now, transformative technology is changing Santa’s once-signature look this coming Christmas.
“Using our AI image generator, we’ve had an incredible opportunity to reimagine Santa in new and creative ways,” said Paula Vivas, head of marketing at FreePik, a visual assets platform, in a release. exploring what that might look like as times change and traditions evolve.”
And in just a few years, he could be a she, according to the high-powered prediction tool.
“This comprehensive reimagining of Santa not only celebrates the diversity of our world,” the experts wrote, “but also shows how beloved figures can evolve along with society’s progress.”
And it’s true, time-tested Yuletide traditions are growing in the flames of the Yule log.
Instead of simply writing down Christmas gift wish lists and desperately hoping that Santa will respond accordingly—a cherished act performed by children of yesteryear—Gen Alpha children, as young as 14, now can receive AI calls from Kris Kringle himself.
“Watch the children’s faces light up as Santa learns their name, wishes and favorite things in a one-on-one conversation they’ll never forget,” SantaPhoneCalls.com advertises on its website.
For $9.95, kids can get a one-time call from Santa. But for a sweeter experience — and a $14.95 upgrade fee — kids can chat with him for five minutes and receive a recording to “relive the magical and loving memories of this moment for years to come.” .
Dates with the computer-Claus are not cheap.
Despite his high fees, some not-so-happy moms are putting St. Nick to shame altogether.
“Telling kids that Santa is real is a lie, and I don’t believe in raising my kids on a lie,” Sierra McKenzie, a Gen Z mom of three, previously told The Post. Your children can still enjoy the magic of Christmas without believing in Santa.”
But parents who plan to keep the faith in Father (or Mother) Christmas alive for decades to come will likely have to adjust to his avant-garde adaptations.
Here’s how AI predicts Santa from the 2020s to the 2050s.
Jingle bells for diversity
“The 2020s have brought a renewed focus on diversity, and even Santa Claus is embracing the spirit of change,” say FreePik professionals. “HE has reimagined Santa for this decade as a sharp, stylish black man who exudes confidence and charm in an updated red suit and a warm smile.”
“This Santa embodies both tradition and the contemporary flair of a new age.”
Girl-bossing like a big boy
The future is female, according to AI.
“Looking ahead to the 2030s, AI envisions Santa as a tech-savvy black woman, fusing the season’s magic with forward-thinking innovation,” FreePik experts said.
But the Mrs. Santa Claus of 2023 probably won’t have a belly full of jelly beans, nor will she carry bags of toys down dirty chimneys all night.
Instead, because of her tech savvy, it’s safe to assume that her highness will be donating their good e-gifts from a laptop in her cozy North Pole apartment.
Hey, she, they – sled!
“In the 2040s, Santa Claus steps into the role of inclusion and representation like never before,” revealed FreePik insiders.
“HE reimagined Santa as non-binary, showing a Santa that belongs to everyone and embodies the warmth of the season with a new, inclusive look,” authorities added. “They bring a universal spirit of joy and kindness, proving that holiday traditions can evolve to celebrate any identity.”
It’s starting to look like a ed like Christmas
“Fast forward to the 2050s and Santa’s had a high-tech upgrade,” FreePik forecasters said. “HE envisioned Santa as a completely futuristic robot, mixing holiday magic with advanced technology.”
“Our 2050s Santa may be made of circles and chrome, but his spirit is as jovial as ever — ready to spread holiday cheer into a new age of innovation.”
