My Real Photos Vs. AI-Generated Ones: A Journey Through Time
Comparing the authenticity of my personal photos with the astonishing results of MidJourney-generated images.
Hello, my friends! Today I am excited to share with you an incredible journey through my personal photographs, both real and AI-generated. By comparing these images, I will showcase the astonishing abilities of AI and how it has transformed the way we view and recreate memories. Prepare to be amazed as we delve into the captivating world of photography and artificial intelligence. Are you ready? Let’s fly!
We’ll start with childhood. I’ll be showing the regular photos first, then the generated ones.

I asked the AI to enhance an old childhood photo of mine, and now it looks like I had a professional hairstylist and makeup artist back in kindergarten. Talk about a glamorous start!
Well, I’d like to point out that many of my childhood photos have been lost, and some have only survived in physical form. So I’m just astounded by how I appear. I’m always amazed at how similar I look in different years while working on the photos. Let’s take a look at me when I’m a little older, okay?

This is fantastic! I compared an AI-generated photo of me with my real passport picture, and I have to say, the AI version made me look like I’ve been on a permanent vacation!

I showed my friend an AI-generated photo of myself, and they said, “You should’ve been a model!” I replied, “Well, I guess I have the AI to thank for that!” Very often, when I generate photos for my stories, I can’t help but wonder how much I look like.
Sometimes I say to myself, “Hey? Just wait! Here I am, 27 years old, and after a party with a puffy face!” Then I see another outcome, “Hey! Hold on a second! Here I am—23 and on a diet.” AI-generated photos are like a time-traveling mirror. Who needs a DeLorean when you have artificial intelligence to make you look like you’re from any decade?
Instead of Conclusion
Through this story, I aimed to showcase not only the immense potential of AI in our modern world but also to highlight that AI-assisted photos can be remarkably similar to their real counterparts. In fact, they often capture the essence of a moment with even greater fidelity than traditional passport or document photos. AI has truly brought a new dimension to how we preserve and relive our cherished memories, blurring the lines between what is real and what is digitally enhanced.
P.S. I created this story not only to demonstrate the possibilities of AI in today’s world, but also to inform my reader that the photos are real and AI-assisted are very, very similar.
