I Wanted To Know How 26 Celebrities Who Left Us Too Soon Would Be Now, So I Used A.I. To Get The Answer (New Pics)
Over the years, we've had to say goodbye to a number of well-known figures from the entertainment industry, particularly from Hollywood. Some of these talented people have left us far too soon, therefore I couldn't help but wonder how they would look if they were still alive today.
With the help of modern technology, I answer this question by using artificial intelligence software to recreate some of the most famous people as older versions of themselves in the year 2022. See how celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and even Elvis Presley would look if they were still with us today.

In my last post, I mentioned that I found out about artificial intelligence and its possibilities while searching for new stories and artists to share on Bored Panda. I was inspired by amazing art and decided to challenge myself and come up with something original and entertaining. Continuing on, I decided to make part 3 to this series, given how much positive feedback I received on the last post.

Most people think that artificial intelligence is the study and development of computer systems capable of doing activities that would ordinarily require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation, which is true, but one shouldn't forget that it can be used art-wise as well.

I combine a couple of softwares when working on my creations (especially on my series where I turn cartoon characters into modern-day humans), I won't say the names, but what about guessing in the comments? The winner gets an upvote! Either way, let me know which image was your favorite, and why. I'd love to know your opinion.

We should all hope we age this well. No age spots, no crepey skin, just a few artfully placed wrinkles....

I doubt at 76 he'd be wearing the exact same hairdo as in 1978. How many men do?
Amy Winehouse

Died 23 July 2011.
Would be 39 years old in 2022.
No reason why you would, though -- she was only 27 when she died. If she'd gotten clean & sober, she wouldn't have looked much older at 39. (And it breaks my heart to think of the music she could have made!)

Seriously? With her habits: smoking, drinking, drugs, she'd look at least 55 on her 39th birthday. She looks younger and more photoshopped in the second photo.
Being a drug addict, I think she's get even more thin... and then wrinkly, not glowy-skinned.
Amy lost her edge (in the photo)! She wouldn't look like that at 39. She lived too hard.

Michael Jackson
Born August 29, 1958.
Died June 25, 2009.

Oh, please, we all know he would never have let his lines get that deep or his forehead have an "almost there" wrinkle.
Kurt Cobain
Born February 20, 1967.
Died April 5, 1994.
Would be 55 years old in 2022.
I thought these were all pretty unrealistic...they all look decades younger than the age they were depicted, and most seemed to be just airbrushed and slightly wrinkled versions of their younger selves. Authentic aging comes with changes to skin color, skin texture, hair thinning, nose lengthening, sagging jowls, weight changes, and all the rest.
I agree but didn't want to say it - you've been downvoted, which is why I didn't want to post in the first place...

I'm sorry but too many of these older "images", have skin that have no blemishes, thus they don't look "aged". It's why they are called "age spots". They look completely airbrushed. I appreciate the attempt, but some of these, I just couldn't see. Especially since the originals, actually had blemishes. Just being real.
I have seen another version of AI with Kurt Cobain that was more realistic and the Carrie Fisher is awful- nothing like her.Unfortunately AI doesn't understand skin conditions and smoking.

None of the women have sagging eyelids. Their eyes look so young and bright as if they have upper eyelid correction or a browlift. Most women look soo much more tired at that age because of those upper eyelids. I could only wish I grew old like that.
Looks like this ai believes all celebrities use botox and have their picture taking only with make-up. Also: it seems that the basis for this is 1 photo - not really a good starting point. The software needs to be updated.
lmao I highly doubt SpaceMom Carrie Fisher would look that awful in six years...
I think what annoys me about this post isn't the pictures themselves, but the comments. So many people that cannot for the life of them suspend their disbelief. They want a 100% realistic depiction of an aged, dead celebrity. They AI is playing a guessing game. I can imagine what these people might've looked like, but this is a good visual. All and all I think it was cool, and people are just too harsh and can never just enjoy something
Sorry, if the post had said how they thought they would look, that's one thing. The absolute of how they would look now, is unrealistic.

These are amazingly well done (speaking as an artist) by someone who really understands the aging process on faces.
