AI Art Project Predicts How Some Celebrities Would Look If They Were Still Alive (boredpanda.com)

I thought of doing something like this a while back. Yet another of my 'great ideas' that I never got round to!

While the images are cleverly done, I don't find them at all convincing. People's faces trend to fill out more as they get older and [men anyway] go bald or at least their hair thins.

I don't think Jimi Hendrix or Elvis alive today [to pick just two] would have exactly the same facial structure [Elvis was already fatter and older looking than that when he died!] and exactly the same hair style. How many 70 or 80 year old men do you see with the full head of hair and hairstyle they had in their prime?

Good effort though. I don't want to sound too churlish as the person who did these at least got further than my "Wouldn't it be fun to...?" thought experiment. But one of the reasons I never got round to trying this myself was the thought that it would be a lot more involved than just applying a few wrinkles and turning the hair white
