‘I Used AI To See What These 23 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life’

There are some cartoon characters that have become iconic for generations. Inside the episodes, and as a viewer, we never found their cartoonish proportions even a tiny bit weird. Rather, that’s what we loved, and a lot of us still do!

But what would they look like if they were real-life people in the real world? Well, Hidréléy, an author on Bored Panda, used artificial intelligence to give a glimpse of exactly that! Here are all the 23 cartoon characters that he did:

So How Did It Feel To Turn Cartoons Into Real People?

The author said that he has experience doing similar posts for other authors on Bored Panda. But this time, he wanted to attempt something for himself. The challenge for him this time was cartoon characters. He used Photoshop as well as 4 mobile applications: Remini, Gradiente, and FaceApp. And, of course, artificial intelligence.

Hidréléy says that every post he makes gives him more pleasure with the final results. He personally liked Milhouse Van Houten, Moe Szyzlak, and Ned Flanders’ final looks. He had assumed that The Simpsons characters would not be very easy to imitate in the real world. But, all of them have their recognizable traits.

Of course, it also reminded him of fond childhood memories. As a child, he loved the classics of Hanna Barbera and the Simpsons. As for artificial intelligence, he says that he is yet to find any limits to it. The key is one’s creativity and being able to direct the machine’s blind hand properly.
