Photographs are very important to keep our memories of major moments and loved ones alive and close. They help us remember the great times we've had and what we have experienced. It's fun to see childhood pictures when you're all grown up. But not everyone has them. That got me thinking and I decided to test artificial intelligence apps to see how good they are at turning people into kids.

I took 21 well-known celebrities and tested it out on them since most of them already have childhood pictures on the internet. The results are quite close, some weirder than others. But A.I. is progressing quickly and soon we will be able to use it on all kinds of things. 

Part one is here!

    I feel the eyebrows are too dark. They're similar to the "current" one, which isn't normal for kids to have. Kids usually have a lighter complexion in both hair and skintone, which darkens over time.

    I find it very disrespectful to take people we have photos of, or self portraits of, and then in some Ego-Induced "art" remake them in a warped, beautified, modernized idea of beauty. They are all beautiful (except for Zuckerberg who needs to be sent back to his Home planet) The "child" version of women are sexualized. Everyone gets doe-eyes, pouty lips, features bordering on Anime and Manga cute. All Hollywood and Model-with-filter perfect. I find it kind of warped and some a bit disturbing.
