Can YOU guess who these celebrity babies are? AI-generated pics show stars as youngsters
>
Not every artist started their career as a child star, but thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), we can now all get a glimpse of what their childhood might have been like.
DailyMail.com has obtained photorealistic AI-generated images of Midjourney for seven of the world’s most recognizable celebrities.
It comes after an image of a baby Elon Musk — showing the billionaire as a toddler in brown overalls — sent baby fever to the Internet.
However, the adorable (or possibly disturbing?) photo isn’t from the billionaire’s own family archives. Like these celebrities, it is also created using artificial intelligence.
Scroll down for the seven celebs and their AI-generated toddler selves:
The AI-made toddler version of Ed Sheeran has his soulful blue eye and his vibrant red hair. But is it a bit too lively? The real Ed Sheeran (right), now 32 years old, looks no less sweet or innocent than his AI-simulated child self
Much like AI baby Elon Musk, who sported adult Musk’s haircut and style, AI baby Whoopi Goldberg has gone for the View host’s current glasses and style. But at 67 years old, the real Whoopi (right) still has her childish energy and charisma
Baby Johnny Depp, as imagined by AI Midjourney, has all the moody swagger and villainous fashion sense of the real-life Pirates of the Caribbean star: the AI clearly took inspiration from 60-year-old Depp (right) and his penchant for scarves with patterns, puffed collars and tousled locks
Created by scientists in Silicon Valley, Midjourney was made available last summer, allowing a large number of people to have the AI generate an image for each of their prompts.
Since then, AI-generated images have taken over the internet, some sparking joy and others causing terror.
In March, a photo of Pope Francis in a huge white puffer jacket instantly fooled the internet.
The image was scandalous enough to prompt Chrissy Teigen, 37, to address her 12.9 million Twitter followers.
The model and TV personality wrote, “I thought the pope’s puffer jacket was real and gave it no second thought. There’s no way I’ll survive the future of technology.”
Looking closer to her AI toddler’s era than her actual age, 54-year-old Friends star Jennifer Aniston (right) has made it a business as the Chief Creative Officer of supplement company Vital Proteins to keep that spark of youth alive. retain
Rap icon Tupac Shakur (right) was a child in 1970s Harlem, the son of activist Afeni Shakur Davis. But Midjourney’s baby Tupac raises an intriguing question: What would baby Tupac look like if he had been born in the 21st century?
And in the same month, a gallery of photos of shocking scenes of Donald Trump being knocked to the ground by police officers appeared.
This was around the same time that the former president was due to face charges that he paid hush money to a porn star. However, the public knew something was wrong with the footage.
Other AI-generated images, such as one that claimed there was an explosion at the Pentagon last month, raised concerns about the technology.
However, the internet was a big fan of the baby Elon Musk image.
Twitter user Samantha Sherwin commented, “Aw, this is so cute. Is little Elon open [to] be adopted?’
While another user posted, “Lol, the real boss baby mystery.”
While the youthful AI-created baby Lady Gaga still has the pop icon’s “poker face,” the AI-generated photo app “Baby Gaga” has given baby blue eyes. In reality, the 37-year-old singer, songwriter and actress has hazel eyes
Young AI-generated Will Smith looks like he could be a sibling to the movie star and Jada Pinkett Smith’s own children. For fans who grew up watching the 54-year-old performer on the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: The real Will Smith (right) will always be timeless
Last month, two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks made waves on a comedy podcast when he said he could easily live forever on the big screen with the help of artificial intelligence.
“What is a bona fide possibility right now is – if I wanted to – that I could get together and pitch a series of seven movies that I would star in, in which I would be 32 years old from now to the kingdom is coming,” Hanks, 66, said in conversation with British comedian Adam Buxton.
If these Midjourney images are any indication, the same could be said for many of today’s best-known and most affordable artists.
