Like it or not, we’ve recently entered the age of artificial intelligence, and although that may be scary for some, one guy in Florida thinks it’s a great way to make people laugh. Cam Harless, the host of The Mad Ones podcast, used AI to create portraits of every U.S. president looking “cool” with a mullet hairstyle, and the results are hilarious.
The mullet is a notorious hairdo known as the “business in the front, party in the back” look. It’s believed that the term “mullet” was coined by the rap-punk-funk group Beastie Boys in 1994.
While cool is in the eye of the beholder, Harless seems to believe it means looking like a cross between Dog the Bounty Hunter and Kenny Powers from “Eastbound and Down.”
Harless made the photos using Midjourney, an app that creates images from textual descriptions. “I love making AI art,” Harless told Newsweek. “Often I think of a prompt, create the image and choose the one that makes me laugh the most to present on Twitter and have people try and guess my prompt.”

“The idea of Biden with a mullet made me laugh, so I tried to make one with him and Trump together and that led to the whole list of presidents,” he continued.
Harless made AI photos of all 46 presidents with mullets and shared them on Twitter, and the response has been tremendous. His first photo of Joe Biden with a mullet has nearly 75,000 likes and counting.
Here’s our list of the 14 best presidents with mullets. Check out Harless’ thread here if you want to see all 46.
