I Used AI To Find Out What These 21 Historical Figures Would Look Like In Modern Times

Forehead slope and jaw angle are missing. AI face is too straight.

The cheekbones don't fit!

Shape of the head is all wrong.

I was sitting in a coffee shop during my lunch break about a decade ago and the other patron in the coffee shop says to me "anybody ever tell you that you look like Van Gogh?". In fact, no one had, but at the time I really did look a fair bit lIke him.

Forehead is too flat. Face is too long and should have been more heart-shaped. Downvote and don't look at any others.

Pretty good. Widen the jaw a bit at the corners and you've got it.

Gorgeous hair

In today's times, he started off in a boy band called NSYNC.

The nose needs to be fuller at the tip. Upper lip needs to be fuller. Face is more round in statue. Ears are closer to head and neck is thicker. Okay pass for a movie actor example (they always make people prettier in movies haha).

close but that hair looks like some one tried to make a wig out of satch and then painted it porly.

I like this one!

And she was supposed to be the "ugly" one. From the portraits I have seen, she most certainly was not.

Isn't she the lady who Henry VIII called 'Flanders mare?' I have good reason to believe he was bullshitting.

Is she the one that Henry said I shan't marry her?

Very nice job on this one

looks a bit like Ed Sheeran's older cousin

Face on AI guy is too short - wrong shape.

Not sure which is more accurate - the painting or the AI. There is a distinct difference in the shape of the chin.

Again, the face needs to be heavier. And elongate the face a tad and make the top of the head more "square". Sorry to nitpick. Artist here and proportions are the first thing they drill into you in anatomy drawing classes.

Manger la verre! Manger la verre

Badass...

I have to admit, I find some of these--like this one--confusing. The recreation looks a lot like Mozart, but more like someone RELATED to Mozart, like a relative. Like, the nose and eyes are similar, but not the same. But shouldn't the recreation look EXACTLY like him? In other words, if you actually lived back then, this is what he would look like (but in modern clothes, apparently). I just don't understand the point of all this if it doesn't actually look exactly like the person.

Makes me think "just out of boot camp"

I am just going to stop commenting. The constsnt issue is that defining features are minimalized in the AI renderings. While the portraits might look a little cartoonish, many of these people had some strange proportions and features due to illnesses and inbreeding. Not Mozart, but his nose and lips have a very unique shaped and that individualism is glossed over for a more "pretty" rendering. However, who knows, these people were largely wealthy so many might say yes so a little nip tuck here and lipo there. I would rather see a truer depiction than an idealized one personally. Yes instagram I mean you too.

Good except for angle of mouth. AI guy's mouth tilts a bit down at the edges, Wolfie's mouth def tilts upward at the edges.

The one on the left takes over countries while the one on the right raids corporations. Is it progress that we now use cell phones?

His eyes make him look like a controlled sociopath... so it's spot on!

this one really gets the expression

He is suposed to have a pouty lip and the uper lip is not supost to have such pronounced curves. His ears are off and his his cheeks are too full. He should look like he was on Ozempic and his crow feet sould be more drupy.

Looks like a dictator of a country

This is pretty spot-on for modern times.

I love the curly hair!

Handsome

"You knew Marcus Aurelius? lol" "I said I MET the man, I didn't say I KNEW him!"

define cheekbones a bit and will be righr on!
