I Used AI To Find Out What These 33 Historical And Mythical Figures Would Look Like If They Were Modern Everyday People (New Pics)

And kind too.

No it doesn't.

IKR?!

With the green suit he kinda looks like he’s participating in squid game

I dunno... the statue's upper lip is thinner and the brows are different

The one on the right is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) picture made by a computer. It's not a real person. You can't ask him a question.

The cheekbones on the right are more prominent, so is the upper lip...

The statue has a lot more facial fat in the cheeks and overall, the jaw is oval rather than angular like in the reconstruction, the eyebrows outer corner is descending, the lower eyelids more prominent. You're right, there's no resemblance.

awe not awww

take sunny boi's gender

The headline says "...if they were modern regular people" - it is not about coming as close to the portrait as possible or matching the look of the time; the AIs show how that person might look today.

Yeah, the statue's cheeks look rounder

Closer than Apollo.

.... and you would know, how?

And less Black. She was a Nubian pharaoh, but an Egyptian. When the Nubianas occupied Egypt Black pharaohs ruled indeed over Egypt, but Hatsheput was not Nubian.

In Ancient Egypt, The Adults would wrap Royal Babies heads in tight swaddling to elongate the cranium and lawline . There is a whole dynasty of Royalty with this bone structure . Also Inbreeding for Pure Royal Bloodlines led to elongated heads, fingers, toes and limbs .

Bridget Jones -esque

Wasn't she?

It’s a computer generated image, not an actual person…

Yeah I would grow the hair out, but altogether not bad

Think you've missed the whole point of the article.

Looks like it to me as well.

Most of these renaissance portraits of religious figures were comissioned by a prominent family who said, "make him look like my nephew Bob."

You can thank the white Europeans for that.

And Man made God in his own image...LLAP

The AI can't tell that based on the art. Whoever made that portrait drew him as a white guy, and the AI is designed to generate an image from art, not generate what that historical figure actually looked like. Basically, if the AI sees a picture of a white guy it's going to generate a picture of a white guy, whether the person in the art was actually a white guy or not.

That's the fault of whoever made the portrait though, the AI can't tell that he's not actually a white guy because in the portrait he's drawn as a white guy and that's all it has to go off of.
