Hidreley Diao, an infamously popular digital artist wielding the power of AI for his creations, previously took the internet by storm with his real-life depictions of cartoon characters. However, that is just the latest series as part of his collection of works. In an older series which deserves much appreciation, Diao utilised both AI technology and digital software to create modern-day impressions of deceased celebrities—basically, if they had lived, what would they look like now? The results are mind-blowing!
