About

AI PS2 Filter refers to a trend in which social media users utilize an AI-generation app called Replicate to alter images of themselves such that they'll resemble PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game graphics. The trend started in a Midjourney Reddit channel in November 2023 but was popularized in early March 2024 on TikTok and Instagram.
