A few years ago, an image of Elvis “if he were alive today” went viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That, of course, was before A.I. Recently, the New York Post<\/a> published a story featuring images of The King at 88, rendered by A.I. The images, created by Dall-E 2, were terrible.<\/p>\n

So, we asked another A.I. system (Midjourney) to take a stab at Elvis today, and the result was a lot more satisfying.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The exact moment Elvis realizes you can’t take it with you.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The image captures more than just how Elvis might’ve looked, but something more. Melancholy.<\/p>\n

As we’re having a love affair with A.I. at the moment, we thought it might be time to pursue this theme further. What would other Las Vegas icons look like today if they were alive?<\/p>\n

Naturally, we had to see Liberace. He’d be 104 today.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Real name: Władziu Valentino Liberace. At some point, people stopped putting a slash through the letter “L,” probably after somebody put an eye out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Working with A.I. is a little hit and miss, but we think it got Liberace right.<\/p>\n

Anyone who thinks his flamboyance, fashion sense or playfulness would’ve faded with age doesn’t know much about Liberace.<\/p>\n

No A.I. trip down memory lane would be complete without members of the Rat Pack, of course.<\/p>\n

First up, Frank Sinatra. His age today would be 107.<\/p>\n

\"\"
It appears the Chairman of the Board got a treadmill at some point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These images are all the more remarkable when you realize we’re in the earliest stages of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what A.I. thinks Sammy Davis Jr. would presumably look like today, at age 97.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Fun fact: Michael Keaton wasn’t director Tim Burton’s first choice for the lead in “Beetlejuice.” It was Sammy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, now we’re feeling guilty about our “putting an eye out” joke. (Davis lost his eye in a car accident.)<\/p>\n

A little-known fact about Sammy Davis Jr. is he was a quick draw artist.<\/p>\n
