A digital artist has created a fascinating series of artificial intelligence (AI) images that imagine what the children of famous fictional movie and TV couples would look like.

“Even if a movie or series ends with ‘happiness forever,’ that doesn’t mean we’ll see the characters get married, have kids, and grow old together,” Diao writes.
“So it’s fitting that we’re curious about what the heirs of some of fiction’s most famous couples would look like.”

Diao searches famous couples from movies and TV shows and finds the best photos of the character pair. He then uses various AI software to create images of their fictional children.
“I was able to create a mechanism that uses three apps and Photoshop to achieve this result,” says Diao. PetaPixel.
“I use Faceapp, Remini and Gradiente. Photoshop is to give the final touch, because artificial intelligence cannot achieve 100% similarity with parents.

Diao praises AI and the creative potential that is possible with new technology.
“It’s amazing what artificial intelligence can do these days,” says Diao. “I believe artificial intelligence has arrived to show us a new platform for art. It’s definitely here to stay.
PetaPixel previously shared Diao’s AI footage of this cartoon characters would look like real life.
His images have brought cartoon characters like Moe from The Simpsons, Carl Frederickson from At the topand Ariel from The little Mermaid live.
