I Used AI To Transform 14 Cartoon Characters From The 2000s Into “Real People” And…Wow
I grew up in the late ’90s, considered by most to be the absolute best time to grow up in the history of forever. (No need to fact check me on that.)
One of the best parts about it was that we were in the Golden Age of animated television (again, don’t fact check me), and we got to spend hours and hours watching SpongeBob SquarePants, The Powerpuff Girls, and Kim Possible.
So, using AI technology, I turned all of your Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel faves into real-life humans — or at least what they’d probably look like IRL.
1. Here’s what Johnny looks like in Johnny Bravo:
Cartoon NetworkNow here’s what he would look like IRL:
