Can I do the perdon trend with my dog? Perdon trend perro?+
Yes. Pick Pet. Your dog or cat gets the groomed, fluffy, princess version in a fancy room, and your real pet photo is the punchline. One of the biggest posts, a chihuahua, had 6.6 million views. It works the same for a perdon trend perro or a cat.
What do I write on the slides? Esta soy yo, perdón?+
Slide 1: "Esta soy yo..." plus what the AI shows ("esta soy yo en la playa"). Middle slides: "Mentira, ..." or "Tampoco ...", one AI lie each. Last slide: "Perdón". For a pet: "Este es mi perro" and then "perdón" or "lo siento". That is the whole esta soy yo perdon ia script.
Is the perdon trend meme mean?+
It should not be. The perdon trend meme works because the joke is on yourself. Our template never makes you slimmer, taller or more muscular, and keeps your face and age, so the gap is the place and the polish. Use only your own photo or your own pet, never someone else's.
Is it the same as the AI vs reality meme or AI expectation vs reality?+
Close cousins. The AI vs reality meme and the AI expectation vs reality meme compare an AI picture with the real thing, from products to ai vs reality photos of places. The perdon trend is the personal version: your own AI vs real photo, told as a confession, with the perdón at the end.
What other names does the perdon trend have?+
The how-to captions call it the perdon trend gracioso (the funny perdón trend), the perdon con ia trend, the tendencia perdon fotos ia (the perdón AI photo trend) and the perdon fotos trend. In English some write the pardon ai trend, and a few pet posts end on "lo siento" instead of perdón, so it is also the lo siento trend.
Is the photo real or AI?+
The first photo is AI, the last one is real. Say it is AI when you post: keep the platform's AI label on. The trend is funny because everyone knows the first photo is too good to be true.
Does it cost credits?+
Yes, a few credits per picture, because it is one AI image. The create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything, and if a run fails, the credits come back.
Is my photo private?+
Yes. MakeViral does not post your photo or the result anywhere or show them to other users. The result goes to your private Library, and you can delete it there at any time.
