Once upon a time, everyone thought Artificial Intelligence (AI) would take over the world. Now, it’s being used for a far more important job: recreating Game of Thrones characters based on their OG descriptions.
Msbananaanna is a content creator from Melbourne who has used AI to reconstruct our Harry Potter faves and posted them to Imgur next to their written descriptions.
You may remember Msbananaanna’s work from earlier in May when they completed a similar project creating AI Harry Potter characters.
Some of these Game of Thrones results were incredible, and others will definitely haunt me for decades. Let’s figure out which designs fall into which category!
Watching Game of Thrones It’s super easy to forget that Daenerys Targaryen was *supposed* to be a girl in her early teens. Emilia Clarke, the actor who played Daenerys in the HBO adaptation was 24-years-old when the series first aired.
Oh well, at least they got the hair right…
While it’s hard to match Peter Dinklage‘s on-screen presence, the AI does a half-decent job at recreating his facial structure.
Minus the hair and notable eye difference, I’m only slightly horrified at how close technology has come to representing real life. A win for the AI?
Similar to Daenerys, Jon Snow was deffo another character the HBO producers looked at and went “yeah nah, this has to be played by an actual adult”.
When Game of Thrones series 1 kicked off, Kit Harington was just 23-years-old despite his character description as an early teen.
Nevertheless, teenage me would’ve been jealous of how pimple-free this AI kid’s skin is…

Hi guys, I made about 30 (attempted to) book description accurate GoT character portraits with artbreeder. If you’re a fan you can check em out here: https://t.co/sDHDTIMn3U#GameOfThrones #ASOIAF #got #grrm
