Recently, an AI-generated photo of baby Elon Musk went viral on social media, sparking discussions among netizens and even eliciting a response from Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself. The photo was shared by a user named “Not Jerome Powell,” who humorously suggested in the caption that Musk’s pursuit of an anti-aging formula might have gone a bit too far. The tweet read: “Reports suggest Elon Musk is working on an anti-aging formula, but the results got out of hand.” The photo quickly gained widespread attention, receiving tens of thousands of likes. Musk himself joined the conversation, jokingly commenting: “Guys, I think I might have eaten too much,” accompanied by a baby emoji. The original poster responded: “This way you’ll have enough time to get to Mars.”

You have to admit, these kinds of images are really amusing, aren’t they?

I also created a photo of young Elon Musk using AI drawing. How does it look? Isn’t it very interesting? Let’s continue reading to learn step by step how to create youthful versions of people’s images.

 

 1. Import the Image into MJ

First, we import a photo of the person we want to make younger. It can be you, me, or anyone.

Drag the image into the dialog box and upload it.

The successfully uploaded image looks like this.

Click on the image, right-click and select “Copy Image Address.” This concludes the first step.

 

2. Enter the Prompt

Bring up the image generation command /imagine, then paste the image address we just copied, and add our prompt “A three-year-old –iw 0.5 –v 5.1”

–iw 0.5 is to prevent the image from changing too much, while –v 5.1 refers to using the v5.1 model.

 

 3. Generate and Adjust the Image

A three-year-old –iw 0.5 –v 5.1

A three-year-old –iw 0.5 –v 5.1

 

Summary

Using AI to turn adult photos into childhood photos has both advantages and disadvantages. The benefits include creating interesting content, experiencing the fun of time reversal, and evoking memories and emotions. Moreover, it allows for a visual shock by directly observing changes in appearance. However, there are also several drawbacks. Firstly, the conversion results may not be accurate or realistic, given the significant differences in age and appearance. Secondly, the AI’s aesthetics and subjective preferences might affect the conversion effect, which may not align with personal tastes. Lastly, privacy and security issues need to be considered to ensure that photo data is not misused or leaked. In conclusion, when playing with this technology, one should be cautious, weigh the pros and cons, and protect their photos and personal information.
