I am Kiarash Behain and I am an American media mogul, creative director, and social media marketing guru.
As a social media guru and creative director, I stay up-to-date with the latest tech trends and have been actively involved in AI-related projects for several years. My passion for learning from online communities and sharing knowledge has driven me to explore various creative possibilities. I am the CEO of my company, Rundown Media, and represent the top influencers and brands in the world. My viral marketing strategies have collected over 6 billion impressions worldwide and counting.
Today I would like to present to you my project "Remembering Legends: A Glimpse Into What Could Have Been" which showcases my AI art gallery that imagines how iconic celebrities, gone too soon, would look today.

Bob Marley
He would have been 78 years old.
The immense potential of AI technology inspired me to create projects like this. I was fascinated by the idea of using AI algorithms to recreate and reimagine iconic figures who passed away prematurely. It allowed me to showcase the power of AI in creating thought-provoking and visually stunning artwork.
Aaliyah
She would have been 44 years old.
So sad what happened and she did great and could’ve done amazing Edit: not saying she did bad or anything just that she had potential for even more
Kurt Cobain
He would have been 56 years old.
The creative process behind these images involves a meticulous approach. After selecting appropriate source materials, I guide the AI algorithms to generate initial results. However, refining the images to achieve the desired outcome requires careful editing and a keen eye for detail. While the process can be time-consuming, the end results make every moment worthwhile.
Marvin Gaye
He would have been 84 years old.
Selena
She would have been 52 years old.
Selena would not have a fluffy gray top knot, and she was never a scowler.
Alongside this project, I have engaged in various other AI-related ventures. One notable example is my exploration of generative art through a successful NFT project in late 2021 called “Lil’ Hippo.” Additionally, I've ventured into audio manipulation, text-to-video creation, animation, and other generative applications. Sharing my knowledge, I host a popular "Digital Workshop" multiple times a week, focusing on financial literacy and tech audio spaces. Further details can be found on my Instagram.
2pac
He would have been 51 years old.
Biggie
He would have been 51 years old.
Eazy-E
He would have been 58 years old.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
She would have been 52 years old.
Michael Jackson
He would have been 64 years old.
J Dilla
He would have been 49 years old.
Amy Winehouse
She would have been 40 years old.
How utterly, ghoulishly disrespectful towards those who have passed.
AND it's AI "art" which is not art but theft and should have been banned from BP long ago. My artist friends are genuinely suffering because of this rubbish.
Its not a full solution, but I try to spread the word about Glaze, a program designed to prevent AI from stealing art. Its at least a starting point, but yeah, AI 'art' needs to be banned until it can be used ethically
Thank you for telling us about Glaze! I do a little art myself and was planning on getting back into drawing... I'll check Glaze out for sure!
Ooh, thanks! Gonna go tell my artist friend who quit instagram because of this c**p right away!
Honest question: Why are your AI artists any different than the rest of us, many of whom will be having AI encroaching on our jobs soon?
This is whataboutism and completely irrelevant.
It's clearly not, Katie, and you're being flagrantly disingenous by saying so. Unless you live in a cave, you're aware that MANY industries are facing massive losses in jobs due to AI. There is ZERO doubt that my industry, software development, will see a massive downturn in junior developers in the next decade. Writers, such as copy writers and script writers, are in the same boat. So again, asking honestly, are you concerned for those people? Do you think that steps should be taken to limit the involvement of AI in those industries as well? Because if you're not, then you're clearly being hypocritical, and your "concern for your artist friends" is nothing of the sort.
Not would. What they *could* have looked liked today
They don't even look like the celebrities they're supposed to represent. It's like the AI just made random photos of older people and then someone labeled them with the name of a deceased celeb with the same race and gender.
What in the world are you talking about? They totally look like the celebrities they are supposed to represent. In fact, some represent them too well ... Biggie doesn't look a day older than when he died. Now, whether they are worthwhile representations of those artists after having aged is another question.
The Bob Marley "art" looks more like Pat Morita than Bob Marley. I hate these gross AI posts.
