I Wanted To Know What 12 Celebrities Who Left Us Too Soon Would Look Like Today, So I Used A.I. To Get The Answer
Sadly, many actors, singers, and celebrities leave this world way too soon. Many fans feel heartbroken and mourn their passing for a long time. Even though they are no longer with us, they will always be in our hearts and memories. Not to mention the legacy and beauty they left behind: movies, songs, and a great impact on people, culture, and sometimes the whole world.
I decided to take artificial intelligence apps and Photoshop and see if I can revive these celebrities to see what they would look like if they were with us today. Artificial intelligence is, of course, far from perfect. Some of these images look quite creepy, some don't change the celebrity that much.

John Lennon
Born October 9, 1940.
Died December 8, 1980.
Would be 81 years old in 2021.
Most of you probably know what artificial intelligence is. It has become very popular over the past years, with a lot of artists, programmers, and even businesses starting to use it. This new technology will probably be incorporated further and further into our lives. A.I. would lessen human error, take risks instead of humans, always be ready to work and would never get tired, and many other helpful things.

Steve Irwin
Born February 22, 1962.
Died September 4, 2006.

David Bowie
Born January 8, 1947.
Died January 10, 2016.
Would be 74 years old in 2021.
However, there are some downsides if A.I. was incorporated into everyday life. Many say that humans would become too lazy. Using A.I. in work would result in a lot of human unemployment. The A.I. will never be as creative and emotional as humans. Also, with deepfakes becoming more and more used and popular, people fear that their identities would be stolen.

Freddie Mercury
Born September 5, 1946.
Died November 24, 1991.
Would be 75 years old in 2021.

Elvis Presley
Born January 8, 1935.
Died August 16, 1977.
Would be 86 years old in 2021.
I have created many articles using artificial intelligence previously on Bored Panda. Here's an article where I use A.I. to see what the kids of fictional couples would have looked like. If you're more interested in real couples, here's what the kids of famous ex-couples would have looked like if they'd stayed together. I also turned these 20 celebrities from the ’80s & ’90s into kids again. A.I. is a powerful and fun tool!

Lady Diana

Not to forget the shitload of plastic surgery. I honestly think he would look even worse by now, body dismorphia doesn’t just stop.

OMG I nearly choked on my toast. He looks like he is from a horror movie. Not that he didn't back then too. I liked his music though.
PrincessTheSiameseKat 4 years ago
all of them look fine until this its sad that you can't even tell he was black... fame does bad things R.I.P

Who could possibly guess what he would have looked like now? He had so much plastic surgery before he died, and I don't imagine that would have stopped, if he had lived.

This doesn't seem very accurate (just my opinion not trying to offend anyone)

I was fearing this one. To be honest, had he lived through 2020 he would surely have had his whole head covered with a facemask.

Why does it feel like he's looking right at me but right past me on both sides at the same time?
HooowlAtTheMoon 4 years ago
Okay I see a lot of comments saying things like "scary" and "even creepier than his actual look" and while i agree that the hair in this picture is not the most flattering, if he wanted to be like that then let him do his thing. If it makes him happy, I'm fine with it. Please stop calling him scary.
Thenatural 4 years ago
Yeah I spose so....I just think it's weird that people defend him knowing what they know...he was a scary peadophile...hidden in plain sight! SCARY!!!

most of them are clearly to old or to young. it's an overall bad post for me.

IlovemydogShilo 4 years ago
I don't. He doesn't deserve to be insulted like the people who are here are. Most of these are so ridiculously inaccurate to the point of tragic. Example; why does a 38 year old Amy Winehouse look older than a 95 year old Marilyn Munroe? There's nearly 6 decades between them.

It appears the AI they used needs a bit more work - Most of these were atrocious.

This would have been a lot better if they'd shown a photo of the subjects from right before they died next to the 'aged' photo.
Easily Excitable Panda 4 years ago
RIP to all of them - and a lot of them deserved a better treatment than this. Are my skills any better? Ye gods, NO. I could NOT have done a better job. But these look rushed, and with little idea of not just aging rates but how well people took care of themselves.
Not A Panda 4 years ago
Perhaps a little self-education on the aging process would be a good idea, because all of these are wildly inaccurate.

Good idea, poorly executed. Some were teally well done, but most were inconsistent with ages and all.

I think the AI was not taking into account what *could* happen ---- illness, drug use, cosmetic surgeries, how their relatives aged, etc. Big miss for me, but what do I know?
•LeXi• 4 years ago
Its an entertaining idea but a lot of celebs do botox and other types of surgeries to keep them young looking. And also, a lot of them, its not accurate at all. For instance, Monroe, she would be way worse looking if she was in her mid 90's ( if she would have lived that long)
