I Asked AI to Recreate Me Through the Ages, and Here’s the Result

In the past, in order to see yourself as a beauty from the 1920s, you had to pay for a photo shoot or order a portrait from an artist. But today, all it takes is a couple of clicks, and artificial intelligence is ready to transport you to any time and any era. Out of curiosity (and, I admit, for fun), I decided to conduct an experiment: I asked the AI to draw me in the style of different centuries. The results were unexpected, see for yourself!

Summary: I’m disappointed with AI so far. It looks like my eyebrows, eyes and nose, but it’s still not me.

I also asked AI to show me as a movie character.

Bonus: I asked to show me in the iconic Cleopatra look.

And these tricks will help you spot AI-generated images.
