We’re living a time where technology is slowly becoming a regular part of every aspect of our lives, and that even includes art that dates back to hundreds of years ago. Using both, we can start to determine what real life ancient figures might have actually looked like. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated image has shown what King Henry VIII might have looked like, and let’s just say, he doesn’t look too happy.

AI-generated images are becoming more and more popular, and with larger quantities of data, the images are going to continuously get better. These AI-generated images are already scarily good, and the leaders in the field are certainly Imagen by Google Research, as well as Open AI’s DALL-E 2.

Many people have been flexing their technologically creative ideas using DALL-E 2 in order to create wonderfully strange images that are generated by the AI art program.

DALL-E uses a combination of natural language processing AI with a gargantuan quantities of image training sets to create insanely impressive final results. For example, you can ask DALL-E to create an image of a purple monkey eating a cake in the style of Salvador Dali and the final result will look pretty good.

Someone on Reddit called Lord_o_the_North has created a modern day real-life image of Henry VIII and it doesn’t just look scarily accurate, but he hilariously looked unimpressed and certainly not very pleased.

Another Reddit users hilariously commented on the image: “He looks like you’ve just spilled his pint.”
