Have you ever wondered what the characters in the Simpsons would look like in real life? Itโs a question thatโs gone around and answered a few times but this time, itโs different.
Instead of just drawing them as humans, artist Milan Jaram used artificial intelligence to see what they would look like. For more info check out, milanjaram.com | Instagram | TikTok
Groundskeeper Willie


Starting with everyoneโs favourite Scottish clichรฉ in cartoon form, now brought to life as a real human being.
This is in no way terrifying. Itโs a perfectly calming image. And truth be told, there are shades of Van Gogh to this.


Maggie
So seeing as Maggie has yellow hair thatโs an extension of her yellow skin, Maggie here has been made ginger by the artist.
Thereโs not much resemblance here, though there really isnโt an awful lot to work with when it comes to animated babies like her.


Bart Simpson
Now this is a more like it. You can probably guess which Simpsons character this is.
Not so sure about the decision to change his shirt colour from orange to blue. Maybe because his human hair is apparently orange.


Comic Book Guy
Lock up your children because itโs the human rendering of the pedantic but lovable Comic Book Guy.
This is not someone any of us would want to meet in any context, anywhere. Well maybe in a documentary about people serving life sentences.


Mr. Burns
This one isnโt really that shocking. Everyone knows Mr. Burns through his background and storylines. He is one withered and unattractive piece of work.
The AI got this one bang on.


Otto
Otto is the former Springfield Elementary student-turned-bus driver. He is a simple man with simple pleasures, like heavy metal and plants.
Here, heโs ditched the usual t-shirt, shorts and headphones for a suit.


Homer Simpson
Hang on, we thought Homer was supposed to be a charming, impish, buffoon?
This isnโt Homer. More like a former Navy SEAL turned vigilante. Getting strangled by this guy would not be fun.


Moe
Everyone loves Moe. He is Springfieldโs neurotic, often grouchy barman who has served the denizens of the worldโs favourite cartoon for over thirty years now.
As for his AI rendition, it doesnโt really look anything like him. Back to the drawing board for this guy.


Grandpa Simpson
This is Grandpa Simpson, or as AI imagines it: But what if Colonel Sanders and the guy who fixes Woodyโs arm in Toy Story 2 had a child that was haunted?
This one is in black and white so thatโs anyoneโs guess. Still, fun to look at though.


Dr. Hibbert
This is not infamous Marvel villain, the Kingpin.
This is actually the happy-go-lucky Dr Hibbert looking suitably plump and even a little glitzy. Like a real preacher.


Lenny
He can come off as a naรฏve, if not dim, regular Joe in The Simpsons, but Lenny actually has a masterโs degree in nuclear physics.
His AI result is wonky-eyed and not exactly someone you want within ten miles of a nuclear power plant.


Carl
And then hereโs Carl Carlson, another employee of Springfieldโs power plant.
Carl is less green than Lenny, and according to this AI image, he was a former member of The Temptations.


Santaโs Little Helper
This has to be one of the more accurate ones on the list.
This computer-generated dog would work as a live-action version of Santaโs Little Helper, if they ever make that kind of movie.


Ralph
This doesnโt really look much like Ralph, but you canโt argue that it doesnโt have extreme Ralph Energy.
Things arenโt exactly smooth sailing or straightforward for this fellow, are they?


Barney
Holy moly. So weโve got the same problem here that we have with Homerโs AI result.
Barney Gumble is a very friendly, good-natured boozehound. He is anything but the cop from Breaking Bad.


Fat Tony
Springfield is already afraid of Fat Tony, and how can they not be, with his ghoulish sunken eyes and reputation.
Imagine if he looked like this though. That would be ten times the fear.


Milhouse
Milhouse Van Houten is that geeky sidekick of Bart Simpson. He is an only child who is held back by extreme short-sightedness and naivete.
Milhouse here looks like a precocious social activist hellbent on putting a stop to greenhouse emissions.


Smithers
So now we know Eugene Levy can play Smithers in a live-action Simpsons adaptation.
The faithful servant to Mr Burns manages to look both approachable and troubling in this rendition.


Lisa Simpson
Lisa Simpson is a clever, caring girl. She is someone who will go out of her way to make sure youโre doing good.
Whoever this is looks like sheโd place an ancient curse on you though.


Troy McClure
This is Troy McClure and you may know him from his reoccurring appearances on The Simpsons back in the 1990s. He played a B-movie actor willing to sell anything so long as he remained relevant.
The voice behind Troy is no longer with us, but his character lives on in the world of AI.


Chief Wiggum
Father to Ralph, Clancy Wiggum is Springfieldโs doughnut-munching, and pretty much rather useless, chief of police.
This picture makes him look like a serious crime fighter as compared to who he is on the show.


Marge Simpson
Given that itโs pretty difficult to make someone who has blue hair shaped like an ice lolly look like a real human, you have to embrace the madness and imagine that this is what we could look like in the future. Itโs pretty space-agey.


Patty and Selma
Sisters, Patty and Selma, on the other hand, look far more realistic. These chain smoking grouches are what people actually look like in the present.


Ned Flanders


Apu
Apu Nahasapeemapetilan is the Indian proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart. Heโs known for his eagerness to please and the catchphrase, โThank you, come again!โ
This AI is fairly normal, though, it doesnโt really capture the cheerful spirit of Apu.


Krusty the Clown
They say Krusty the Clown is a worn-down, depressive, cynic, but a lot of Simpsons have taken to him over the years.
He was originally designed as Homer wearing clown make-up, but Krusty eventually became his own entity.


Edna Krabappel
This one does not do Edna any justice whatsoever. Not unless Edna wasnโt supposed to be attractive in the show then this is pretty spot-on.


Principal Skinner
Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Okay wait, this is supposed to be Skinner. If thereโs anything to say about this, itโs probably that itโs the most believable AI out of the lot.
