An Artist Used A Neural Network To See What Celebrities Looked Like In Their Youth, And We Compared The Results To Actual Pictures

Technology and art seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. Numerous artists might refuse to use technology in their works for fear it will replace traditional artmaking methods. Still, Steve Jobs famously said, “…technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.”
And no one can deny that saying and in fact, modern art is now lined between art and tech so that modern artists make their masterpieces not only with brushes and paint. Let’s take Hidreley Diao for example, he creates an amazing gallery using a neural network in his creative process to see how celebrities would look like when they were young.
Today, we decided to take a look at the archives and compare the pictures made by a neural network to the actual young and childhood celebrities’ photos. We're undoubtedly amazed at what celebrities looked like in their youth. Keep scrolling down and enjoy!
