- Mark Zuckerberg put together AI-generated photos of him in various outfits.
- The images, created by Meta AI, included one of him buried in ridiculously large gold chains.
- Zuckerberg has been experimenting with his personal style.
Mark Zuckerberg may be looking for his next style era after asking the internet on Tuesday to choose between four AI-generated photos of him in outfits.
The images, created with Meta AI, featured Zuckerberg heavily laden with comedically large gold chains, Zuckerberg onstage looking like a member of *NSYNC (and also Charlie Puth), one with him as a chill streetwear designer, and one with him dressed as what he called a "video game character" in a blue cap and vest.
The outfit experiment comes on the day Meta released the newest version of its AI model, Llama 3.1. The new Meta AI allows users to create AI-generated images based on their selfies, though Zuckerberg did not clarify if he used this feature.
"Which one has the most drip?" Zuckerberg asked on his social media site Threads.
The bizarre bike chain image was a fan favorite, winning with 34% of the vote. This makes sense considering the internet's positive reaction to Zuckerberg's new penchant for donning oversized plain T-shirts and gold chains.
Zuckerberg's recent style evolution has been making waves online.
Upon the arrival of his new style, which is being dubbed as "mob chic," people attempted to Jack Harlow-ify him by editing a beard on his face.
"Zuck with a beard would become World Emperor in months, if not weeks," one person wrote on X in response to the edited photo of Zuck rocking chin hair.
Now, the Silicon Valley billionaire once known for wearing black hoodies and gray T-shirts appears to be leaning into the joke.
He sported a gold chain and black shirt that read "Carthago delenda est" in old English lettering during his 40th birthday party in May. The Latin message translates to "Carthage must be destroyed."
Beyond his style, Zuckerberg may also be stepping into the streetwear business himself.
Last year, the tech company introduced a partnership with glasses maker Ray-Ban for its AI-powered smart glasses. Meta, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, is in talks to purchase a stake in Ray-Ban's parent company EssilorLuxottica — which announced it will purchase the popular Gen Z streetwear brand Supreme.
Per the Financial Times, Meta may be rolling out a new version of the smart glasses in partnership with Supreme to target a younger — and more stylish — audience.
Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
