Over at Bored Panda, an artist used an artificial intelligence algorithm to provide possible portraits of what celebrities who have passed away unexpectedly might look like if they were alive today.
Some of them are not bad -- the Freddie Mercury portrait probably has more dark hair than the average 75-year-old sports but other features seem realistic. John Lennon's face seems reasonable for an 81-year-old man, but the amount of hair doesn't really work at all. The Elvis Presley picture is a reasonable example of what an older Elvis might look like (apparently, Lee Majors) but the picture shown doesn't really suggest someone who's 86.
On that front, the James Dean and Marilyn Monroe portraits are complete misses. The way both are shown could very well have been a part of them had they aged past their respective early deaths, but neither picture shows the nonagerians they both would be. And a couple don't make much sense: David Bowie was 69 when he died just five years ago so there's not really much change in his looks. And a few of the others suggest an algorithm that needs some tweaking.
