AI has a scary prediction for what humans will look like in 1,000 years

AI has a scary prediction for what humans will look like in 1,000 years

Nope, no thank-you

Many of us have often wondered what life would look like in the future.

Flying cars, smartphone glasses, teleportation, space travel? There's no shortage of films, books and TV series created from our imagination of a futuristic planet earth.

But thanks to artificial intelligence, we no longer have to speculate about the human race - and the truth is more terrifying than our wildest imaginations.

Thanks to the use of AI software Midjourney, UNILAD was able to create a series of images which revealed what the programme thought we would all look like in 1000 years from now... and it's a horror show.

It's not surprising that a piece of software created off the back of technological advancements pictures a robotic future for us, however the images are still creepy nonetheless.

The creepiest part of the images is the almost robotic appearance of the face, which features wires and various mechanical contraptions replacing the skin of our cheeks and forehead. Almost like a cyberpunk skeleton.

How we end up as wire covered cyborgs is another mystery in itself. Will covering our faces in wires become a new fashion trend or is it a reflection of just how prevalent technology will become in our lives?

Or perhaps the image is a personification of how AI itself could look after 1000 years of development.

The good news is that the software didn't predict everyone to be wire covered cyborg.

However, the bad news is that even the more recognisable human faces don't seem to be enjoying their future life.

Granted, some of the faces in the next set of images don't appear too different from how we look now. If nothing else they look little more worn down from an existence based entirely around staring at screens.

However you probably didn't notice that as you were too preoccupied with staring at the two faces in the middle of the bottom row and hoping that AI had gotten things horribly wrong on this occasion.

We don't know what horrors these two sun-fearing creatures faced in order to warp their appearance so badly. Could it be a damning omen of where society is heading or did something more sinister happen?

Perhaps AI could be wrong about the future of the human race? Either way, we'll never know, unless we also unlock the secret of immortality in the near future.

If staring at a reflection of our future selves hasn't given you nightmares to last for days, AI has also recently predicted what future McDonalds restaurants would look like as well as the faces of the average man in several UK towns.
