AI shows what rappers such as Drake, Jay Z, and more would look like when older
An Artificial Intelligence artist called David Zinyama shared pictures on 23rd May Tuesday of various rappers aging with the help of the tech algorithm.
Some of the rappers include Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled, J. Cole, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Usher.
Nevertheless, it is presumed that the program created the renditions either with one or several photos of the celebrities. It further predicted what the transformation would supposedly look like in an unspecified amount of years.

While most of these AI-generated images are hard to believe, some appear to be quite accurate. However, all of them are uncanny.
In addition, this led to many netizens pointing out that some of the rappers seem to be more like other people than themselves.
Meanwhile, the images come a few weeks after Will.i.am said that he wants to protect his face from the new technology. He talked about it when he sat down for an interview with Sirius XM earlier this month.
He said, ‘We all have voices, and everyone’s compromised because there are no rights or ownership to your facial math or your voice frequency.’
Subsequently, he continued, ‘So, forget songs. Banks. People calling up your bank pretending to be you. Forget songs. Just family matters and wiring money.’
The Black Eyed Peas founder went on to state, ‘You’re getting a FaceTime or a Zoom call and because there’s no intelligence on the call, there’s nothing to authenticate AI call or a person call.’

Additionally, netizens took to the comment section of the post to share their both amusement as well as disbelief after seeing the rappers with a few extra years added to them.
