AI recreates celebrities as babies and it’s truly disturbing

AI recreates celebrities as babies and it’s truly disturbing

Baby Keanu Reeves has left me scarred

AI is back at it again, this time recreating our favorite celebrities as babies, and I have to admit, some of them are truly terrifying. Just wait for baby Keanu Reeves...

AI really is having its moment right now, and it seems every day there's something new it's doing.

From developing what the 'perfect' man and woman might look like to turning Shrek into a horror movie from the 80s and even turning Family Guy into an 80s live-action sitcom, it seems the tech buffs really aren't having a day off at the moment.

This time, a digital artist has used cutting-edge generative AI Midjourney to recreate A-listers as babies and have left people in hysterics, terrified and scratching their heads all at once. Take a look:

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Midjourney

Please can someone explain why this child version of Arnie has worry lines?

Beyoncé

Midjourney

Okay, this one is actually really cute.

Robin Williams

Midjourney

The late, great Robin Williams may be even cuter.

Taylor Swift

Midjourney

Okay, this is adorable.

Eddie Murphy

Midjourney

Of course he already has facial hair.

Sylvester Stallone

Midjourney

It's the hair for me.

Marilyn Monroe

Midjourney

"Marilyn Monroe is giving JonBenét Ramsey," wrote one Reddit user.

Ed Sheeran

Midjourney

He looks exactly the same, to be honest.

The Rock

Midjourney

Introducing, 'the pebble'.

John Oliver

Midjourney

Harry Potter, is that you?

Brad Pitt

Midjourney

"Yeah baby Brad looks like one of his real life children," said another Reddit user.

Samuel L Jackson

Midjourney

Why do I feel like he's really, really annoyed at me?

Denzel Washington

Midjourney

It's hard to picture this cutie in Training Day.

Angelina Jolie

Midjourney

Keanu Reeves

So I'm presuming he was just born with a beard then? This is literally terrifying.

While AI may be providing us with a lot of laughs - and scares - some of the biggest players in the business actually want to pause its development due to its 'profound risks'.

Elon Musk has joined the likes of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn, who have all signed an open letter demanding that all labs training AI systems stop for at least six months.

"Recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict or reliably control," the letter reads.

"Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable."
