filters TikTok use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to detect and recognize faces, objects, and specific features in videos.
These filters are based on machine learning algorithms that are trained using large amounts of data to understand and recognize different elements in images.
Now, these types of tools are being used by users to see what the version of their future children will be like.
Some users already have children but participated in this trend just to see how accurate the technology is. To his surprise, the AI was correct in its prediction.

How does this TikTok filter work?
To get the perfect snapshot of their future children, TikTokers are using a CapCut template, selecting a photo of each parent, then letting AI do the rest. The template has become popular extremely fast, as more than 49 million people have already tried it.
Among the most notable comments are the following:
- @Banelly_official: “I’m having a hard time believing these are real ha”
- @Vida: “When I tried to download the app, it said it needs access to all my photos, so I think that’s why it’s so accurate.”
- @Rachel Ketchum: “I am too antiquarian of technology. I can’t understand these tendencies to save my life 😂”
- @Candii_andii: “I have read that the app pulls from other images on your phone. I don’t know how to try what it is either”.
- @JDizz🧚 ♀️: “I tried it and it says my son will look like a rat gremlin so now I’m scared”
- @Esteban: “Mine is nothing like any of us. She’s actually her dad’s twin too but the filter didn’t work for us 🤣 haha”
It is important to note that TikTok filters are just one specific application of artificial intelligence. AI is used in a wide variety of fields and applications, and how it works can vary depending on the context and specific purpose of each AI system.
Recently, there have also been various trends trying to figure out what people will look like, such as the aging filter trend or even one that changes your hair color.
