You’ve probably heard what crazy stuff AI, machine learning, and deep learning technologies are capable of. Like creating portraits of people who don’t exist, or making a 15th-century Renaissance painting out of your picture, or turning your static single selfie into a living image. Sounds crazy, because it is, but it turns out, this is not all.
Two programmers and AI enthusiasts, Justin Pinkney and Doron Adler, have just created a new mind-bending “toonification” system that basically turns your portrait into a cute cartoon character. Thanks to deep learning, the algorithm fine-tunes the original face and blends it with a cartoon model, keeping the identities the same, but the features cartoonish.
Apparently, their “Toonify” website got so much attention on social media, with people flocking to the website to toonify their selfies, that the costs got out of hand and the team had to temporarily turn off the server.
While they’re working on bringing it back to us, let’s take a look at some of the most amusing cartoon transformations down below so that you’ll have time to decide whether to go for Elsa from Frozen, or stick to the Nemo makeover.
