These people are VERY famous but you’ve never seen them like this before – do you know who they are?

YOU probably feel the instant flush of familiarity when you see these images and wonder why you recognise these seemingly normal people.
But it’s actually a series of historical figures who have been given an artificial intelligence facelift to gauge how they would look today.
5Here’s a look at what the Mona Lisa may look like as a modern-day woman5AI artist Hidreley Diao brought US President George Washington back to life5This eerily accurate recreation of Napoleon wowed internet usersThe eerily accurate AI transformations were produced by content creator and tech whizz Hidreley Diao.
Using a combination of Photoshop and three mobile apps – FaceApp, Gradiente and Remini – to revive iconic VIPs.
The incredible digital artist has managed to modernise the likes of George Washington, Henry VIII, the Mona Lisa, Napoleon, and Leonardo da Vinci.
Diao, who works for online mag Bored Panda, said he dedicates two hours to transforming each historical portrait into a modern-day photograph.

The Brazilian explained he tries “to bring them into our world” by creating scarily realistic replicas of ancient legends.
“When choosing the character, the most time-consuming thing is to find an image that resembles the historical figure,” he said.
“I spend hours in image databases until I get the right picture.
“Each individual piece takes up to 2 hours, which is nothing compared to AI-unassisted methods.”

Diao shares the fruits of his labour on his Instagram page, sending social media users wild with his work.
The AI artist has amassed a whopping 141,000 followers since he began exploring the world of AI – which he describes as a “world without limits.”
He said his skills were improving with each and every design he makes, encouraging him to branch out further afield.
The Photoshop genius can also breathe new life into cartoon characters such as Ned Flanders and Bart Simpson.
Diao said: “When we watch some animation, it is natural to accept the cartoonish proportions of the characters without any problems, after all, we are quite used to this type of trait.
“But what if, as in a spell, they became real, flesh and blood? I tried to bring them into our world through artificial intelligence.”
“I wanted to try something out myself, and so I dove into the world of AI.
“In terms of how they all turned out, I’m more and more pleased with the results with each post I make.”
The creator says AI-assisted art has “no boundaries” and he is currently cooking up an exciting new project to take on next.
Daio revealed he will try to depict what some prematurely deceased celebrities would have looked like if they were still alive, adding: “I hope it will turn out great.”

It comes as one technology programme started creating uncomfortably realistic images of people who never existed.
And another AI image generator has imagined what the scariest human on earth looks like.
