AI Time Machine is a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that allows users to learn about the different historical periods by uploading photos, turning them into images of the different eras.
According to a report published on the website of computer today that this AI was developed by the DNA analysis company MyHeritage. It only asks to upload some images to create images of a person in different eras.
Through its website, the company explains: “Using AI Time Machine, you can look like an Egyptian pharaoh, a medieval knight, a 19th century lord or lady, an astronaut, in just a few clicks.”.
MyHeritage obtained a license to use technology based on Stable Diffusion, one of the most powerful AI tools available today.
Viral on TikTok
The images generated by this artificial intelligence have gone viral on TikTok, a trend that has reached more than 30 million views.
Twitter users like dr steven hadley have also used the tool. He shared the results on the social network and wrote: “Inevitably, after a period of reflection, I have decided that once I submit my three contracted books, I will leave the academy to become a 19th century Arctic Explorer. Wish me luck!”.
In order to use the toolyou must upload an average of 10 to 25 photos of the same person taken from different angles. Then, a model of the individual will be elaborated that can fit into themes set in different historical periods, going through that of a 19th century gentleman or lady or that of an astronaut in space, among others.
MyHeritage claims it takes anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes to build the initial model from user-uploaded photos and once the process is complete, you’ll receive an email notifying you that your images are ready to be viewed. When you receive the email, you can select the topics that you want the AI to generate and it will take between one and two minutes to display the results.
