We Found Out What 18 Historical Figures Really Looked Like Thanks to AI

We decided to compare how the historical figures of the past centuries looked like according to film directors, artists, and AI, which always has its own special opinion. To be honest, the results were quite unexpected for some of them.

Mihrimah Sultan

Suleiman the Magnificent

Giacomo Casanova

Hypatia

Emperor Commodus

Queen Mary Stuart

Joan of Arc

Anne of Austria

Lucy Hay (Milady’s prototype)

Louis XIV

Giordano Bruno

Maria Theresa

Ludwig van Beethoven

Jane Austen

It is not faithful at all to the persons depicted, Jane Austen would have never showed her neck so much it was indecent for the era, the real life depictions are for most of them over sendualized to fit our nowadays stereotypes, my lady has a hairstyle that doesn't even fit the era's trend. Poorly done.

Henry VIII

Anne Boleyn

Mary I

William Lamport (the prototype of Zorro)

And here AI showed what celebrities would look like as cartoon characters of our childhood.
