They are the great idols of world football, true legends who have the planet at their feet… now as villains Thanks to Artificial Intelligence. Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and other football figures, show their worst image.
The job was done by the AI Midjourney, on the initiative of colleagues from the newspaper La Vanguardia.
Let’s remember that Midjourney is an Artificial Intelligence program that creates images based on what the user requests. A) Yes, You can add words like “Leo Messi”, “villain”, “disguise” and four different images of what was requested are born.
Artificial Intelligence is the attempt to recreate human intelligence in machines or computers. Machine and deep learning are used: in the first, the computer is trained with images, texts or audio, and in the second, it does the work requested, without the need for a human hand.
Midjourney, born in 2022, defines itself as an independent research laboratory that created the Artificial Intelligence program. It is similar to others like Dall-e (OpenAI) Y Stable Diffusion.
This is how Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and other footballers look like villains, made by Artificial Intelligence
Journalist Marc Mestres, from La Vanguardia, He did the exercise of asking Midjourney’s Artificial Intelligence to turn great current football figures into villains.
For the generation of villains, the AI is based on what it has analyzed in the film industry: DC and Marvel are reflected in the soccer players. We therefore have a Messi in the best style of Joker or Bizarro, or yet Cristiano Ronaldo as an evil Robin, to name a few.
Neymar takes elements from the Joker, Y Erling Haaland (or someone similar to the footballer) as a Cyborg prepared to kill.
We will not give you more advances, below, you can see the results of the great footballers of the present turned into villains thanks to the work of the Midjourney Artificial Intelligence. What do you think?
