#16: Abraham Lincoln, Circa 2024

AI and Photoshop capabilities are pretty wild these days. These computer programs can create a completely realistic “photo” in a matter of seconds. We’re going to be up front about this image. It’s not a real photograph of a real person. It’s a computer-generated imagining of what Abraham Lincoln would look like as a 20th-century president. 

It’s pretty freaky how realistic this image is. Without the disclaimer, it’s hard to tell that this image is fake. Although most of these AI images can be off-putting, it’s also interesting to see a different vision of historical figures in a modern context. What do you think? Does this guy look like Abraham Lincoln?
