A Reddit user has made use of several tools to create an AI-generated version of GTA San Andreas characters, including CJ, Tenpenny, and Big Smoke. It’s safe to assume that discourse about AI-generated art won’t see the end in the coming days for sure.

However, when removed from areas such as legalities, academics, and commercial gain, there seems to be a fun element to the technology. For instance, last year, a randomized Pokemon generator called Fakemon took the gaming scene by storm, allowing fans of the game to create all kinds of pocket monsters.

One GTA fan has made great use of AI and generated what beloved San Andreas characters would appear if they existed in the real world. On the StableDiffusion subreddit, a user called AaronGP shared the results of their GTA: San Andreas-inspired AI creations.

The Redditor claims to have used ControlNet, Img2Img, and RealisticVision to transform pixelated characters such as CJ, Ryder, and Big Smoke into nearly real-looking people.

In a subsequent post, AaronGP explained the “basic process.” he noted that he used images from GTA San Andreas’ Fandom wiki to come up with these Ai-generated versions of the various characters.

The Redditor uploaded every single image into ControlNet and Img2Img, then used augmentations from a post featured on RealisticVision for their prompts. The results, to say the least, are pretty uncanny. Besides, rapper Eazy-E’s influence on the character design for Ryder seems more apparent in the AI-generated images of the character.

As we move forward, it will be interesting to see which other classic game characters will be brought to life using AI-generated treatment.

How to register as CEO in GTA Online?

For players to register as a CEO in GTA Online, they will have to fulfill some basic prerequisites. Firstly, players are required to have an executive office of their own. Buying one of these could be pretty hefty, and the cheapest one will set players back by at least $1 million. The costly ones can go up to $4 million, and players have the option to choose from four distinct executive offices.

  • $1 million – Maze Bank West
  • $2.25 million – Arcadius Business Center
  • $3.1 million – Lombank West
  • $4 million – Maze Bank Tower

After players are done buying the office space, the next thing they need to do is to register as a CEO. The process is fairly simple, all players are required to do is open the interaction menu in GTA Online. Then, they need to navigate to the “SecuroServ” option from the same menu. This will offer players with additional choices, so they have to navigate to the “Register as a CEO” option and click it.

Registering as a CEO allows players to access several special VIP missions, such as recruiting associates, and request special vehicles for themselves. Players are also allowed to buy can special properties, including warehouses and other offices, and get access to additional vehicles in those locations.
