The Simpsons have been turned into real life people and it’s truly disturbing

The artist has recreated the likes of Mr. Burns, Bart Simpson and Ned Flanders

An artist has transformed famous The Simpsons characters into 'real looking' people - and the results are pretty astounding.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, we've been able to see Family Guy turned into a 1980s live action sitcom, what Harry Potter characters could look like now and even what the perfect man and woman look like.

And now it's time for The Simpsons as Hidreley Diao (@hidreley) - who uses FaceApp, Gradiente and Remini - has produced these incredible images.

The well-known characters he's created from The Simpsons include the likes of Moe Szyslak, Milhouse van Houten, Bart Simpson and Ned Flanders.

And the images are *so* convincing, with Diao using AI to make them look alike.

In a piece for Bored Panda, Diao explained: "When we watch some animation, it is natural to accept the cartoonish proportions of the characters without any problems, after all, we are quite used to this type of trait.

"But what if, as in a spell, they became real, flesh and blood?

"I tried to bring them into our world through artificial intelligence."

He added: "I've done some similar posts by other authors here on Bored Panda.

"I wanted to try something out myself, and so I dove into the world of AI. This time, I challenged myself to try to do one on the theme of cartoon characters.

"In terms of how they all turned out, I'm more and more pleased with the results with each post I make.

"I really liked how Moe Szyzlak, Ned Flanders and Milhouse Van Houten turned out because initially I thought that the Simpsons drawing style would be very hard to emulate on 'real life' terms, but they are actually very easy to recognise."

The artist's work doesn't just stop at The Simpsons.

Diao has also re-created Carl Fredricksen from Disney Pixar's UP, Moana from Moana and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, among many others.

The artist concluded: "I've been exploring the world of artificial intelligence recently, and I can tell you, it's a world without limits!

"With the rise of AI-assisted art generation, there are virtually (no pun intended) no boundaries for digital art, you just have to be creative and know how to guide the blind hand of the machine."

Diao has also re-created historical figures, too, such as Zeus, Leonardo Da Vinci, Matau Tathonca, Hatsepsut, Mary Shelley and even the Statue of Liberty.

"What if they were living in the 21st century now?" he wrote on social media. "Imagine meeting one of them in a party, or even in a supermarket?"

Talk about the advancement of technology.
