Using AI to imagine what could have been

I've been leading our AI efforts at the Boston Globe, but also tinkering in my spare time. One effort I've undertaken is trying to use MidJourney to imagine what people who left us too soon would look like if they had the chance to grow old.

Sharing some of the output below. Would love to hear how you’ve been using AI.

This is a grizzled #JFK at around 75 years old.

John Lennon, if he were still alive today…

John Belushi at 75

Kurt Cobain at 55
