I Tested A Neural Website With 20 Historical Figures To See If It’s Any Good
Have you ever wondered what Mona Lisa and Napoleon Bonaparte would look like in real life? Or maybe you always wanted to find out what Michelangelo's sculpture David would look like if he were alive? Well, I wondered the same thing and decided I would try out this new Neuro website.
The website is called Neuro Love and proves that A.I. is learning quickly. You don't need to be a digital artist anymore to make something more realistic or bring statues and fictional characters to life. The website does a great job, although there are still many places where it could do better. Neuro Love has problems recognizing accessories and some faces look kinda wonky, but it's getting there!

Mona Lisa
I think her cheeks are too ruddy. As a noblewoman she would have been protected from the sun.
August
No, the us-endings were later added to all names in Latin

William Shakespeare
I think the face is a little young for that receding hair line. I know it happens, but for Shakespeare is didn't happen until his 40's. He still had most of his hair in his last portrait (done when he was 46).
Napoléon Bonaparte
Galileo Galilei
Julio Cesar
big julie, used to run girls n numbers out of bensonhurst, but when he got connected to H thru that guy from marseilles, well....
Albert Einstein
I think the idea is that the original photo is in black and white? I also don’t see the point, but the title said it was to see if the program was any good.
Load More Replies...This is silly as Albert Einstein was alive until 1955 so very much easy to see how the man looked like in real life photos !!!
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Isaac Newton
Most of these are pretty good. Why did they change the shape of his face?
Benjamin Franklin
Ben here, and Abe Lincoln, went through hell and had hard, stressful lives. People didn't have nice skin, these photos are a bit "young" and cleaned up, I think. If you can find pics of A. Lincoln before the Civil war and after it's shocking how much he aged, and reasonably so. It's not a sin to be older than your years, battle worn, weather worn and tired. I see pics in the past of people who look like they're in their 60s and they're 27. Life was hard. These are look like they're run thru the filter of Today, smoothed and IG pretty. I applaud the effort but they don't ring true to what we know and have seen of a lot of these people. So why make them hipper and less flawed? It's part of their beauty to show the lives they lead
This looks like someone else's face with a few "Franklin-esque" characteristics tacked to it. As a portrait artist who constantly analyses facial features (even when I'm not working), I find most of these AI pics just look "off".
Abraham Lincoln
Why are people purposely doing this with people who have in fact been photograph and where everyone and their mother knows how they looked?
Henry Viii Of England
Why doesn't AI recognize red hair? Both Van Gogh and Henry VIII were definitely red heads.
Looks more like "shower cap" hair. A picture of Larry the Cable Guy with different hair colour would have looked better than this!
Load More Replies...George Washington
I think Washington is wearing a wig in the painting as was the fashion. the AI interpreted the wig as actual hair, or rather missing hair.
Load More Replies...Frida Kahlo
Pretty sure Frida Kahlo would look like she did in the many photographs of her...
Was just thinking that...a self portrait of Frida Kahlo done by Frida Kahlo doesn't really need to be changed or fixed.
Load More Replies...R Carson, how about, "Gotta love the fact that she didn't shave nor try to hide her uni-brow despite society finding it unsavory"? I am thinking that is probably something like what you meant, but please correct me if I am wrong. I have huge respect for Frida for that. Such a shame she suffered that horrific accident and went through so much pain and disability for the rest of her life.
Load More Replies...So it gave her a lip wax, nose job and bud-lips. Now i know what the "A" in AI stands for
Didn't pay attention to the title, for a second I thought it's a poorly designed Cyberpunk character....
Jane Austen
Yeah, it mistook the ruffles as hair. Probably does limited color sampling for determining color.
Load More Replies...Vincent Van Gogh
The AI mistook part of his moustache for his mouth and changed his hair colour....
Isn’t there one actual photograph of him? Remember one of two being falsely believed to be him - but the second one? Anybody know?
There's one that was believed to be him but turned out to be his brother Theo, and the one that is known to be him is on this page: https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nederland/artikel/690791/dit-m-dan-nog-zon-zeldzame-foto-van-vincent-van-gogh where there is also a group photo that he is believed to be in.

Thomas Jefferson
Your trump derangement syndrome is showing. It’s so weird how absolutely obsessed you guys are with trump..
Load More Replies...Joana D'arc
These are all mind boggling that they seem so real, but as a long-time portrait artist, I see lots of discrepancies in the AI presentations. (A good tip if you're trying to reproduce something exactly, is to turn both upside down, as it defuses your brain's vision somehow and you can then see differences more clearly).
As an artist of stick figures, "I see lots of discrepancies
Load More Replies...There are no contemporary portraits of Joan - this is based on a generic 19th century engraving
In other words, the proportions of the AI image look like those of the painting...
Load More Replies...Plato
i would be fascinated to meet him, but this AI portrays him like he just caught whiff of a really bad fart. BAD. FART. and he's looking right at me. so, no.
Girl With Pearl Earring
AI added earrings to guys without them, and removed from the girl who specifically had to have it.
Maybe you didn’t read but they said AI is still learning….
Load More Replies...How can the girl in the picture be so so beautiful and the AI attempt so blandly unfetching?
I think the AI generated one looks a lot more beautiful, anyway people have different points of view so ye
Load More Replies...This doesn't even look anything like the very realistic painting. Don't give up the day job hun, ok?
O can undersrand the paintings..but photo? I think Einstein looked like himself in his pic 🤔😄
Yeah, aren't three of these photos based off of photos? I mean there are photos of Frida Kahlo ( and as I say this I'm sure some shutterbug is gonna rush in and correct me with "those aren't photo's! those are deguerreotypes!" )
Load More Replies...I think this is a failure. What makes us think that the paintings and sculptures are inaccurate? To say nothing of the photos, of course. The AI reading is just too overgeneralized and softened. Based on some weird algorithm that clearly doesn't hold up.
Interesting work. Some important details missing such as the pearl earring on the girl when the name clearly states the girl with the pearl earring. But overall beautiful work. I love seeing the people from history.
