What is the AI pumpkin head photoshoot?

The pumpkin head photoshoot is a fall TikTok trend: people put a hollowed-out pumpkin or jack-o'-lantern over their head and pose for a series of photos, usually in a field or on a leafy road, often set to "Oh Klahoma" by Jack Stauber. Know Your Meme dates the first known video to November 2020 and says the trend came back in 2021 and 2022.

The real version needs a big pumpkin, a carving knife and a friend with a camera. The AI version needs one photo: we keep your clothes, build and hair colour, turn your head into a smiling jack-o'-lantern and stand you in dry golden grass at dusk with a handful of wildflowers.
