A new AI tool called StyleCLIP allows you to turn images into realistic faces, so we thought it'd be fun to see what some of our favorite video game, TV, and movie characters would look like in the real world.
Take a look at our full gallery below, to see realistic imaginations of Kratos, Sephiroth, and yes, Handsome Squidward from Spongebob.
StyleCLIP is part of the recent wave of AI tools that let you do all sorts of things to alter photos. A deeper explanation can be found here, with StyleCLIP being described as "essentially Photoshop driven by text, with all the good, bad, and chaos that entails." Neat.
If you want to try it for yourself, you can download the StyleCLIP program. Thanks to Corridor Crew for the idea!
