All of these made me so emotional… these were real human beings that had real lives and vast experiences- not just some static,unfeeling portraits. This would be incredible to see family members I’ve never met through this lens…
Lincoln was amazing here, but as he smiled and moved his face it began to look less like him. All the theories in here on why he didn't smile in pics plus the believers' thumbs ups are hilarious. There can only be one right answer. And I doubt it was depression. The exposure time seems the most logical, but after looking it up it's just a sign of the times and not everyone thought smiles were appropriate for a portrait. Please google before guessing and try not to contribute to all the false info by giving thumbs ups to those who are incorrect. YT is rampant with several thumbs up on wrong information. 🙄🤡🤡
No, this has nothing to do with a time machine but is simply falsifying historical sources... The movements are all simply made up by the AI and in no way reflect the reality behind these images. Anyone who thinks that's good really has no idea about source criticism, the dangers behind it and about history in general.
The problem is. There is no way AI can capture the emotion of someone in a 100 year old picture. So the AI just assumes they are mostly happy photos when in reality they are not. It's trying to predict what a human might do in that situation. But it cant possibly get it 100 percent right. Therefore it is deceitful in nature.
@@goodkrypollo1706 Not really. The module is basing these animations on the prompt given by the human. It is most likely that the creator asked it to make them smile or laugh. You can do whatever you like with these tools.
@@goodkrypollo1706The AI might not be able to capture the true emotions of the subject at the time of the photo, but they are still representative of how these people felt at some point in their life. You’re telling me Lincoln never had a happy moment in his life?
Watching Lincoln move and smile pretty much brought tears to my eyes. I always saw his portraits like this stoic effigy of a distant President, but this video makes him look like a real human with personality and empathy. That was tremendous!
I'm a 62 year old professional artist and I am mesmerized by this technology. Great job and thank you. I really did not think that I would live to see this. Well done.
i love seeing comments like this. it brings a tear to my eye. you have a lot of life left to live. you will be truly amazed what comes in the next decade. always stay optimistic even in cruddy times. (as my robot vacuum cleans my room haha)
That's because he suffered from great stress and deep depression.A civil war and the loss of a child can do that. By the time the war was over he had lost considerable weight
No one smiled in photos back then because of the insanely long exposure times with cameras. People had to be really still so as to not mess up the photos. It was easier for people to just not smile for those extended shoots.
We too often forget the burdens that some figures in History had. Lincoln was often beset with severe Depression and fought it to the end. Sadly, he never would have been elected in today's America, as we've become a shallow people, looking too often on wealth and outward appearance.
I did this same thing with a picture of two of my cousins who passed. I was not prepared to see my cousins look at me and smile one more time. It made me yearn for one more hug. I’ll always miss them.
I think about that too. I wish I had words of wisdom to make you feel better, but I can only share that you're not alone in feeling this way. Hopefully there is a doggy heaven.
The soldier and his son got me. That picture was taken two years to the day before my grandfather joined the Army. I hope that man made it home to his beautiful boy. I wish now more than ever for peace.
the kid in that photo could still be alive or the kids children could still be alive. It would be incredible if they saw this video and could comment on it.
As a father of draft age with a 2 yo son who breaks down like this when I go to work sometimes, I can only imagine the pain this father was going through
You'll be happy to know he was reunited with his son after the war. I've done some research and he defended Pearl Harbour and survived a number of battles in the Pacific theatre.
There's already plenty of real video of Einstein, and giving lectures with sound etc. This is like watching yourself eat breakfast on a screen from a security camera. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The image of Mr. Winbury and his son, Robert, really hit me in the heartstrings (as a father of a little guy this age). Such a powerful bond between father and son immortalized in one image. I looked up who Mr. Winbury was and where he was stationed. Survived Pearl Harbor and a few other battles in the Pacific afterwards - he was reunited with his son.
@@puffchick4197 Yes. No matter how hideous, smiling always helps. Because even if it doesnt help the observer, it helps the individual express their joy. And that in turn is helping!
Being able to see them smile changes your perspective SOOO much!! I loved Lincoln’s! Obviously, they couldn’t smile for photos back then because it was too difficult to maintain absolute stillness for the length of time required for the photo process.
It basically scans and studies thousands of videos to learn how human bodies move and how facial expressions change; then it scans a bunch of photos of the subject, like Lincoln, then uses all that data to modify the still image and adjust it to fit the examples it has analyzed.
Amazing! For me, President Abraham Lincoln was touching. Learning about his life and the great things he did made him surreal, but being able to see him smile made him down to Earth.
Watching President Lincoln smile was really lovely. You could feel him. What must be remembered is that even though he struggled with melancholy, he had an excellent sense of humor and loved telling jokes.
@@TVADSNOW799 They also had to stay still for long to make sure they get the long exposure, so keeping a resting facial expression was easier. And yes smiling in photos wasn't a thing yet.
Warren Stokes post on Facebook said: "I found in a blog that he survived Pearl Harbor and was in several battles in the Pacific. He eventually returned home and was reunited with his son."
AI has been nothing but a blessing. I don’t understand why people think AI will turn on us. Every time I talk to an AI, it’s so respectful. And the work they produce is just amazing-these videos of historical figures, song covers by dead artists. I can’t wait to see AI grow. Once they are given bodies and full autonomy I’m sure they will do nothing but create a new age of renaissance. They’re such artists!!
Between humans and ANY animal is precious. Yes, this was a sad episode in "the Space Race," and it is even more sad that Russia has not advanced in their Humanity. . .
I like Lincoln the best. Considering the war, and how it not only tore the country apart, but families as well, his personal losses, and the stress fo the position of president in this this young country, it was nice to see him smile.
@@MichaelaH2059 what I said. More than half of the people in this video lived to a time where actual video footage of them is available, including Einstein. So I don't need AI to fake history I just can watch it
I'm glad I'm not the only one who took that one right in the feels. Nearly all these people at the time had stately, serious portraits. Any chance to see how they could've looked in lighter moments is a treasure.
Feels like time traveling to the past. It is as if bringing the dead to life. I am amazed. Thank you for bringing these moments of these amazing people to life. Einstein and Lincoln are my favorite.
Yes but - a problem. All of them seem to have the same exact emotions when they smile, whereas in real life smiles are highly individualized, representing many different emotions behind them.
Even though the glasses don't match the time period, I think it still captured the essence of Lincoln and I think we see a true side of the man for a bit when he smiles...Shame we don't have any pictures of him smiling, (Which was hard to photograph in those days) as he was a man of warmth and humor at times and was our very best president.
Edgar allen poe had a very sad life and i dont doubt for a moment he struggled woth depression, among other things. You can see sadness in his eyes and ive never seen a happy picture of him, so the little smile at the end was something wonderful to see, even if it isnt real.
If I may....perhaps portraits of the 1800s may not be representative of a whole person's life..... There must have been some times in Poe's life that he enjoyed; even people with depression smile sometimes. (A serious expression should not necessarily define a person....)
This is incredible and just the beginning. I lost my dad when I was 9 before home movies were around for normal people (not wealthy) and I'd love to "see" him again! Love Lincoln, he just looks like a regular guy.
For those wondering about the crying boy, Private Winbury fought at the attack on Pearl Harbor, survived a number of battles in the Pacific theater, and eventually reunited with his son.
1:29 - "He and his family were executed" (Smiles gladly) 2:28 - "A soldier standing at attention" (Bursts uncontrollable laughter) 3:08 - "Embodying humor and charm" (Embodies uncomfortable misery)
It's amazing how much better these are getting in so short a time. Seeing people from old, historic photos is pretty neat. I don't think it's necessary, however, to do ones of those who lived during times from which we already have them on actual film moving around.
@@AndrewMacLaine Not really negative. I just think that since we already have these people on film it doesn't really have the same feel as for those we only have still photography for from further back in history. Once movies came along, we already know what those folks look like and how they sounded and such. Though, it is pretty neat seeing a "moment" come to life.
Seeing Lincoln brought to life in a way that captures his subtle gestures, like putting on his glasses or showing emotion, must be surreal. It’s amazing how modern technology can make such historical figures feel so real, letting us connect with them in ways that were once impossible. Seeing Lincoln’s mannerisms, expressions, and quiet intensity makes his story more impactful, almost like we’re witnessing a piece of history firsthand.
He was indeed handsome but also arrogant and stupid. His cousin the King of England warned him to treat his subjects with less cruelty, but the Czar ignored him and paid the ultimate price
@@jupitermoongauge4055 I dont think he was directly cruel to his people. He's not Ivan the Terrible but he was indifferent to the cruelty happening around him
ITs good to think of Abe smiling sometimes. HIs life was so hard and his duties so heavy. He always looked sad and stoic in his portraits. I hope Mary loved him.
Am I the only one who always gets so surprised they look so "human"? We still look the same, it's still us, nothing has changed no matter if it's today or thousand years ago. They were humans, they had lives, they cried, they laughed, they had troubles and joys. This is just so extremely unbelievable to me... It's like I can't believe those people existed. That they were nothing special or something different. They were just humans like any other....
The scary part is that this technology could be used to alter crime videos thereby providing false evidence either for or against a criminal or law enforcement officer .... or anything else for that matter.
Marilyn Monroe is so beautiful...Don't care if it's made by AI, the result is breathtaking. Thanks a lot, I'd love to watch an entire video with Marilyn.
@@MysteryScoop Yes, she actually DID start out, as a light brunette, and then had to routinely dye it a dark platinum, to be consistent with her first breakout roles.
@@agentelvis81 Y2K was a prediction of what would happen at the year 2000 before the event. AI is here and is developing as we speak. A year ago the short videos made by AI looked awful and weirs, they now look almost passable, pretty sure it wont be too long before you cant tell the difference
I know it sounds silly, but being able to see figures like Lincoln move really makes you realize they were indeed real people, who laughed and cried and dreamed, so much more than still photographs in a textbook. This AI humanizes them in a really beautiful way.
Edgar Allan Poe was a genius that lived a short life of bright mornings and dark midnights. Poe became known as the creator of a type of fiction that was difficult to categorize and nearly impossible to imitate. RIP Mr. Poe. ❤🖤💜
@@JaneCrossan Thanks, but it is mainly things I remember reading from other books. I've read every biography ever written about Poe. I became obsessed with his life story when I was a teen, but I'm not sure why. Possibly from empathy.
@RullXov Yes, often teenagers go through a period of being drawn to Gothic themes when they feel displaced from the new and confusing adult world that awaits them. I used to watch Dracula films and scare myself witless. I'm very much older now and never watch anything scary, or read horror stories. 🙂
@RullXov I've only seen a clip from the original 1922 silent version (well before my time). That was terrifying. I couldn't watch the new one. I see it's out on New Year's Day 2025 😱
This is really cool, the only thing I think AI could improve upon is the teeth. Back in those days, older folks (ie Lincoln, Einstein) definitely didn’t have perfect, pearly white teeth. lol.
It's amazing how AI has progressed. It's just a matter of time before a full length feature film employing not human actors but AI images of these historic characters. Want to see a drama film about Henry the Eighth and his wives? Coming right up to a theatre near you.
Wow, wow, wonderful and scary at the same time to witness this moment with AI. Which software did you use to bring Lincoln back to life? Thank you for sharing, and have a wonderful day 😊 😀 ☺️
6:06 got me, i cant imagine that exact moment. Saying goodbye and later down in history we know how brutal it was and the deaths it brought. Had to look him up if he made it out curiosity and he did " john survived the attack on Pearl Harbor, and several battles in the Pacific theater, before going home and being reunited with his son." dang his son is 87 years old at this moment?
It was really special seeing Abraham Lincoln smiling so sweetly like that. Just before he was murdered, he and his wife Mary Todd were very happy at that point in their lives. The Civil War was over. There would be no more endless fields littered with dead bodies across the nation. America had reached a turning point, and there was at light at the end of the tunnel. This stunning AI video makes me think of Honest Abe as a caring, loving father, husband, and friend to all who love liberty and justice for ALL American citizens.
People would love to be able to buy this as a service to have dear ones back for just a moment. When all you have is an old photo, a few seconds of film in colour would be priceless xxx
Unbelievably realistic renderings from single photos! Only Elvis's eyelashes looked incorrect. A big applause for the one who made these with AI. The 1st 2 are incredible.

@@MysteryScoop it just cracked me up is all. All chill 'round here 🤝
@@MysteryScoopyou're the one who needs to chill, that comment was hilarious.
Grown ass man here crying. 😢 Thank you. 🙏
What's wrong?
Seeing Lincoln brought to life in a way that captures his subtle gestures, like putting on his glasses or showing emotion, must be surreal. It’s amazing how modern technology can make such historical figures feel so real, letting us connect with them in ways that were once impossible. Seeing Lincoln’s mannerisms, expressions, and quiet intensity makes his story more impactful, almost like we’re witnessing a piece of history firsthand.
Might be the coolest use of ai I’ve ever seen. It’s so believable. How could their personality be extrapolated from a photo. Amazing
Holy moly! These are wonderful. Especially enjoyed the ones with smiles and eye crinkles. How beautiful they all are.
Thanks so much for bringing history back to life for us. 👏👏👏
The Czar was one handsome fellow!
I think I'm man-crushing a little bit.
The smile makes all the difference
@@jeffreytan2948 Nah... I am still pretty ugly when I smile 🤣
He was indeed handsome but also arrogant and stupid. His cousin the King of England warned him to treat his subjects with less cruelty, but the Czar ignored him and paid the ultimate price
@@jupitermoongauge4055 I dont think he was directly cruel to his people. He's not Ivan the Terrible but he was indifferent to the cruelty happening around him
@@jeffreytan2948 he was the Czar, he was in charge of the cruelty. Stop pretending he was innocent just because it suits your fantasy
The little boy crying with his soldier dad made me feel a bit emotional and silly. They were all wonderfully rendered subjects. Thank you. ❤
That ambulance driver woman at 2:15 is a keeper, at least her AI recreation is!
Omg, tsar Nicholas! 😮 Seems like he was joking having a burp and laughing about it 😂
LOL... I thought he was stifling a yawn.
ITs good to think of Abe smiling sometimes. HIs life was so hard and his duties so heavy. He always looked sad and stoic in his portraits. I hope Mary loved him.
😮 IT'S LIKE I'VE REALLY GONE BACK IN TIME 😮
I,m in 1899. Who Are You? What Is This Glass Book With Pictures? Some Type Of Stereopticon Device? Who's Marilyn Monroe ? Who's Charlie Einstein?
All are incredible, that’s the great power of a smile. But president Lincoln is so heart warming to the tears.
Am I the only one who always gets so surprised they look so "human"? We still look the same, it's still us, nothing has changed no matter if it's today or thousand years ago. They were humans, they had lives, they cried, they laughed, they had troubles and joys. This is just so extremely unbelievable to me...
It's like I can't believe those people existed. That they were nothing special or something different. They were just humans like any other....
Ver al zar Nicolás II sonriendo, me ha puesto los pelos de punta.😮
Yes, and he was handsome!
Yes, indeed. What a handsome man. I forget how, but wasn't he somehow related to the Windsors? If so, I can see it the family resemblance.
@@jackack1429. Yes, His cousin is George V of the UK. They look a lot alike.
I absolutely loved Tsar Nicolas. I've had a historical crush on him for years lol!
He was a handsome man
The scary part is that this technology could be used to alter crime videos thereby providing false evidence either for or against a criminal or law enforcement officer .... or anything else for that matter.
I'm sure there is a digital footprint left behind
It's not THAT scary because that kind of evidence wouldn't be admissible, because we're all aware of how much AI is changing things.
@@SCharlesDennicon ROFL. Wake up.
Don't give bad defense attorneys bad ideas.
There is such thing as digital forensics that would be able to confirm manipulation
2:15 and 7:45 were amazing! Practically flawless.
This is truly magic. This is no longer merely technology.
Marilyn Monroe is so beautiful...Don't care if it's made by AI, the result is breathtaking. Thanks a lot, I'd love to watch an entire video with Marilyn.
Well, looks like things are moving in that direction 🙂
If Marilyn's estate allows it, there will be new movies starring Monroe.
@@MysteryScoop Yes, she actually DID start out, as a light brunette, and then had to routinely dye it a dark platinum, to be consistent with her first breakout roles.
@@hawaiisage I'd love too see Marilyn's final movie, 'Something's Got To Give", completed! 😊
You realize she made a lot of movies & you can watch her without AI involved?
Mind blown 🤯 what's scary is just how real these can be
The implications of this are absolutely terrifying.
Agreed - it wont be long before we wont know whats real and whats fake - actors will be a thing of the past too
yep cause the Government is going to use it to skew things in their favor.
I remember when we said that about Y2K.
@@agentelvis81 Y2K was a prediction of what would happen at the year 2000 before the event. AI is here and is developing as we speak. A year ago the short videos made by AI looked awful and weirs, they now look almost passable, pretty sure it wont be too long before you cant tell the difference
Yes, but also mesmerizing.
I know it sounds silly, but being able to see figures like Lincoln move really makes you realize they were indeed real people, who laughed and cried and dreamed, so much more than still photographs in a textbook. This AI humanizes them in a really beautiful way.
This is one of the coolest uses of AI I've seen
It just makes me wanna warn Lincoln.
Edgar Allan Poe was a genius that lived a short life of bright mornings and dark midnights. Poe became known as the creator of a type of fiction that was difficult to categorize and nearly impossible to imitate.
RIP Mr. Poe. ❤🖤💜
@RullXov
Your words are so eloquently descriptive. It makes me wonder if you might have some writing skills yourself🙂
@@JaneCrossan Thanks, but it is mainly things I remember reading from other books. I've read every biography ever written about Poe. I became obsessed with his life story when I was a teen, but I'm not sure why. Possibly from empathy.
@RullXov
Yes, often teenagers go through a period of being drawn to Gothic themes when they feel displaced from the new and confusing adult world that awaits them. I used to watch Dracula films and scare myself witless. I'm very much older now and never watch anything scary, or read horror stories. 🙂
@@JaneCrossan - I'm much older too but still can't wait to see the new movie Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers..😁
@RullXov
I've only seen a clip from the original 1922 silent version (well before my time). That was terrifying. I couldn't watch the new one. I see it's out on New Year's Day 2025 😱
As close to going back into the past as we'll ever get!
This is what AI should be used for! So cool!
This is really cool, the only thing I think AI could improve upon is the teeth. Back in those days, older folks (ie Lincoln, Einstein) definitely didn’t have perfect, pearly white teeth. lol.
Nicholas the czar,,very handsome man..❤❤❤
It's amazing how AI has progressed. It's just a matter of time before a full length feature film employing not human actors but AI images of these historic characters. Want to see a drama film about Henry the Eighth and his wives? Coming right up to a theatre near you.
This is amazing. History brought to life!
This is nothing less than incredible honestly.
I mean, WOW. These are are beautiful and captivating as you are. Incredible. I'm blown away.
Amazing. The Lincoln was the best.
Wow, wow, wonderful and scary at the same time to witness this moment with AI. Which software did you use to bring Lincoln back to life? Thank you for sharing, and have a wonderful day 😊 😀 ☺️
Lincoln was my favorite, and Tsar Nicholas
They make it look much better than real life.
6:06 got me, i cant imagine that exact moment. Saying goodbye and later down in history we know how brutal it was and the deaths it brought. Had to look him up if he made it out curiosity and he did
" john survived the attack on Pearl Harbor, and several battles in the Pacific theater, before going home and being reunited with his son." dang his son is 87 years old at this moment?
The animations are very impressive!
It was really special seeing Abraham Lincoln smiling so sweetly like that. Just before he was murdered, he and his wife Mary Todd were very happy at that point in their lives. The Civil War was over. There would be no more endless fields littered with dead bodies across the nation. America had reached a turning point, and there was at light at the end of the tunnel. This stunning AI video makes me think of Honest Abe as a caring, loving father, husband, and friend to all who love liberty and justice for ALL American citizens.
the Tsar was absolutely gorgeous
Lots better than the current "Tsar." lol
People would love to be able to buy this as a service to have dear ones back for just a moment. When all you have is an old photo, a few seconds of film in colour would be priceless xxx
This reminds us that every single life has a story to tell.❤
Unbelievably realistic renderings from single photos! Only Elvis's eyelashes looked incorrect. A big applause for the one who made these with AI. The 1st 2 are incredible.
Wonderful! Loved my friend Poe.
Thank you! Cheers!
Scary technology when you consider the harm it can potentially cause. Thanks for posting.
Наприклад?
It’s a tool. Are you scared of a screwdriver?
Everything has two sides. A good side and a bad side.
@@funnyperson4016you know how much damage people can do with tools? Especially a screwdriver.
@ lol, who cares I don’t lose sleep over a screwdriver
Absolutely incredible. The future is now.
