Have you ever thought about what would Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain may look like if they got still alive?
Well, one of the world’s best AI artist has generated these legends’ imagined photos and answered the question of what they may look like today.
Turkish artist Alper Yesiltas has generated a photo using the latest technology to create a fresh current look-like photo of these music legends. Here we have listed a photo of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Janis Joplin, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse.
Yesiltas said, “With the development of AI technology, I’ve been excited for a while, thinking that ‘anything imaginable can be shown in reality,’ “When I started tinkering with technology, I saw what I could do and thought about what would make me the happiest. I wanted to see some of the people I missed again in front of me and that’s how this project emerged.”
Yesiltas used software like Adobe Lightroom, VSCO, and some AI program called as Remini to increase the quality of the photo.
“With the development of AI technology, I’ve been excited for a while, thinking that ‘anything imaginable can be shown in reality,’” said Yesiltas in a statement. “When I started tinkering with technology, I saw what I could do and thought about what would make me the happiest. I wanted to see some of the people I missed again in front of me and that’s how this project emerged.”
When he was asked which artist you find the most realistic than Yeesiltas answer was “Michael Jackson”. He states that the Michael Jackson photos look so real this he was so confused and very happy seeing his favorite musican current state photo.
“Naturally, the moment I like the most is when I think the image in front of me feels real. The time I spend with a single image varies, but I would say it takes a while.”
