I Test The Limits Of A.I. And See How Good It Is At Guessing How Celebrities Looked As Teenagers (28 Pics)
Believe it or not, every Hollywood celebrity we know was once a teenager! All jokes aside I decided to test out artificial intelligence. How well would it guess what celebrities looked like when they were teenagers? Since most of these well-known people already have teenage pictures, we have something with which to compare the A.I.-generated results.
I used all kinds of A.I. applications, but tweaked and fixed the results a little bit using my Photoshop skills. The pictures are, of course, not perfect, because they are still generated by a computer. Some are better, some are worse. But we can still clearly see how A.I. imagines these 28 celebrities as teenagers.

The comments are like an argument! "Not too far off" "Way off" "Does not look like him as a teenager" "I see no differences"

I think the AI chooses different body parts from younger celebrities that closely matches their face.

In his dreams. You can't remove facial lines and make the hair longer and say that's what they looked like.

And that's not what he looked like. You can actually go see what he looked like. This isn't it.

They are testing the AI to see how close it looks to the actual photos.

Please stop shaming people for plastic surgery or any physical feature even if you wouldn't make the same choice. We have to stop with this, especially women doing it to other women.

Take it from someone who was around in the '60s and remembers 19-year-old Cher, she looked nothing like this.

From what I have seen, George was more on the chunky side when he was a teen...wish the hair was more of an accurate style of his youth, as well.

Yes, AI is not accounting for weight changes. In my teen years, I never weighed more than 90 pounds. I weighed 92 when I got married at age 22. Couldn't put on weight no matter how much I ate. I'll turn 60 this year and am just now tipping the scales at 130. Could lose some, I suppose, but I'll never fit into a size 2 ever again.

Ok. Now I am going to stop reading people's comments and just check out the rest of the post. Y'all need to learn how to read before judging another person's work. (or well I guess it's another person's computers hard work, but yall don't know that since y'all keep commenting the same dumb s**t)
Seeing famous personalities as they were in their formative years is always fascinating. The curiosity about their youthful appearances is similar to uncovering hidden gems from the past.
If you're interested in seeing genuine pictures of when these stars were younger, you can explore this intriguing collection of celebrity childhood photos and witness how these legendary figures once looked compared to the A.I.-generated versions.

I think an article with 3 photos would be even better: them older, the AI version and the a real photo of them while younger. We could also see if the AI is doing a good job or where it is failing.

I agree D S. I initially thought it was going to be a comparison of the AI picture and an actual younger picture .

I thought it was going to show them next to a photo of them when they were young. Sucks, not going to google all these people to see if they did look like that. Like, I can remember how some of them looked back in the day, but mostly I can't remember my own birthday when the cashier asks.
