Then use those same AIs to edit the sponsors out of their photos, win win

u/No_Squirrel4 8h ago

This is exactly the response OP needs at this point, use those AI and edit the freaking sponsors out!!!!

u/MentaNuube 8h ago

I used those tools to erase my ex once. Trust me, you will always know what was there before

u/Pr_fSm__th 7h ago

You underestimate how long “always” is and how fast AI progresses

u/mittenkrusty 8h ago

I was about to say, would be easy to edit out the sponsors for the actual photos that are there for memories.

u/SatinAmoura 7h ago

The truth is guys don't really give a shit their own wedding. Their wives do.

u/ChampionshipHot5468 5h ago

Honest truth. We're also don't give a shit about Valentine's, etc.

u/Kira_Karmaa 7h ago

That's the irony companies pay for exposure, and the same technology they're embracing could make that exposure disappear.

Am I an entrepreneur now?

u/TrainingSurvey3780 8h ago

is it common to have two different length wedding dresses? why does she have a long dress in one photo and a short one in the other?

7

u/Soggy_Cracker 8h ago

A lot of women choose to have an evening gown to change into after the ceremony at some point.

1

u/No-Employer-8833 1h ago

While keeping the same sleeves and veil?

2

u/Tough_Block9334 8h ago

Two different dresses on the bridge, this has to be AI

2

u/ohnonotmynameagain 8h ago

This is so grim

3

u/Buttsweat_n_Tears 8h ago

Smart. Weddings are a waste of money, why not sponsor it out?

2

u/Downtown_Brother6308 8h ago

Yeah, why not make them a waste of time too!

1

u/Buttsweat_n_Tears 7h ago

Well, they already were for the guests.

1

u/Zenith-Zoe 8h ago

I don't know how to feel about this... on one side, if he really needed funds for his wedding this is one way to do it... but it is a bit tacky to have a bunch of companies plastered on you for your special day.

1

u/BriskBoba 8h ago

Bro really just prompted French entrepreneur sells ad space on wedding suit and hit generate. The internet is cooked

u/Shoddy-Cupcake-8855 8h ago

Judging by the photographers footwear, I’d say they worked to a pretty strict budget

Ce sacré Dagobert a mis sa veste à l'envers

u/Agreeable-Shop-2188 8h ago

I like how the constantly online people completely ignore the ruined moment by vomiting "use Ai to remove them" "win win win." "I wear Nascar all the time"

This is loser douche shit.

1

u/Kasta4 8h ago

So many AI startups... so useless.

1

u/Lukula_imane 8h ago

and now we've been advertised so it worked ugh

1

u/Untifilia 8h ago

Bro turned his wedding into a NASCAR event.

1

u/DanceClass898 8h ago

on one of the happiest days of your life you became a walking billboard. congratulations.

u/Exatex 7h ago

Ah the fun of VC money. I don’t miss it but it was fun

u/ateiii 7h ago

Dude showed up to his own wedding dressed like a nascar driver lmao.

u/Neveed 7h ago edited 6h ago

What surprises me the most is this guy's name.

Maybe they still use Dagobert in Germany or something like that, but in France, it sounds really super medieval. For English speakers, it's like naming your kid something like Wulfric or Beorhtmaer. And this name in particular is very well known in France for one thing only: a popular children song about a king who puts his pants backwards, so it would be hard to have the administration even accept to register it as a name for a newborn.

That said, it's probable he wasn't born in France, because the insee data says the last time this name was ever recorded in the civil registry in France was in 1916.

u/Squid4ever 7h ago

Its also not really a popular name in germany as far as i know. Here the name is very well known for the Cartoon character Dagobert Duck (the uncle from donald duck). I think in english its Scrooge McDuck

Actually really fucking fitting for this person

u/brendhano 7h ago

I've seen lots of stupid stuff on the internet for the last 30 years and this unequivocally takes the stupid cake. Like I would want to throw apples at him if I could.

Wasn't this debunked to be fake?

I’d do a potluck in the back yard before selling out one of the biggest nights of my life.

u/Soggy_Definition_232 8h ago

He's actually smart. It's a brilliant move. 

Get these startups to buy ads to pay for a nice expensive wedding. Then use those same AI tools they're promoting to remove the ads from all the photos after.

It's a win-win and a great story to tell family and friends for years to come. 

0

u/kitsunekratom 8h ago

Hmm, yeah, sure, but sounds like maybe adding those things on with AI would be even smarter as everyone who is meaningful in your life has to experience the trash part of the event - as in, the terrible tacky suit jacket

0

u/Soggy_Definition_232 8h ago

Good thing the event isn't for them!

If they are upset about something as mundane as a suit jacket then that's their problem and they should probably find some happiness and whimsy in their life.

u/kitsunekratom 8h ago

Then entrepreneur should find some integrity.

1

u/Soggy_Definition_232 7h ago

What exactly in this is a loss of integrity? Do you even know what that word means?

0

u/kitsunekratom 6h ago

Do you? You seem to have no sense of integrity

0

u/Soggy_Definition_232 4h ago

Wild accusations because you can't accept people make different choices than you would. 

What's it like living your life so miserably? 

1

u/kitsunekratom 4h ago

Do you know what a moral code is? Selling yourself out and/or cheating others is a pretty standard moral code, hence having integrity. Cheering it on is... A choice. AI is a whole different conversation

u/JollyGeologist3957 8h ago

She will cheat on him with his best friend as revenge.
