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.

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.

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.

Ha ha.. no, I don't think he would have looked like a suburban dad.

This looks much younger than 75, actually. My parents are about 70, I know.

I'm just not seeing it. I'm sorry. You can't just stick granny glasses and add some wrinkles to imagine how someone would look.

Add wrinkles? I had more wrinkles around my eyes than he does in this pic, when I was in my early 50s!

I believe he would have changed style many times through the years as he used to

He looks like a dad that drives a Reliant Scimitar to large fields where a rally or meet is happening where other dads meet up in their Reliant Scimitars and compare notes on the cost of brake pads and how they managed to cram their lost youth into the new feature they paid the guy at Halfords fit into it. "Check this out, It has DAB and the lights change! Now, how long do your brakes pads last before they start failing?"

Freddie would have a lot less hair! He had less hair back in 1991!

I met Freddy and the band in 1974 at the Erlanger theater in Philly (for 94 cents!!!) and a few times after that and to tell you that he was one of the most gracious guys I have EVER met. He loved his fans and his people. I have no words to say how much this world misses him (David Bowie as well) but you had to know him to know Queen. The finest male voice ever put to record. To hear that from a Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra fan is really saying something.

Eh, not so much. He would have still had HIV/AIDS in him, so his face and everything else would be super strange. Although, I like the fact that you appreciate him. Thank you. RIP

He looks like the angry Greek man who owns a chip shop near me called Thoomas, but anyway Freddie is another outstanding man, RIP another legend.

Would not have aged that well unless he changed his lifestyle.

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!

I honestly believe that she would not have looked this old at 60. Not by far.

He would be much more handsome and young looking. Like Pharell or Keanu, this pic would be the 80 years old Tupac.
