AI Reimagines TBBT Characters as Kids, and The Results Are Uncanny

Now that September is over, fall is getting colder and bleaker. As a result, many people might experience autumn blues. Under such circumstances, comedies and sitcoms are the best to cheer one up. CBS's hit show The Big Bang Theory is, perhaps, the most obvious choice.

Released in 2007, the show was not a huge hit. In fact, few could have predicted that it would become the network's flagship sitcom for the next decade. Following a group of young scientists and their friends from California, The Big Bang Theory grew into a smash hit that ran for a whopping twelve seasons and inspired an equally popular spin-off, Young Sheldon, which is still airing.

Proving that fans' love for TBBT and its characters goes beyond the show's timeframe, many people were stunned by the AI-generated images of the beloved characters as babies provided by The Things.

Stuart

The socially awkward comic book salesman was a minor but integral part of The Big Bang Theory right off the bat. The AI-generated image fully encapsulates the character and his style, while also portraying a cute baby boy with fantastic hair.

Amy

Although she was added to the show only in season 3, Sheldon's on-again-off-again girlfriend and future wife quickly assumed a central role in the gang by taming Dr. Cooper with his constant antics. The AI-provided image shows a sweet baby girl who bears a striking resemblance to the beloved neuroscientist.

Bernadette

While Bernadette definitely wasn't a fan-favorite character, she was very memorable. Her beauty-queen persona is masterfully rendered in the AI-made photo that is also rid of her prim face expression.

Howard

Perhaps, the worst of the photos, this picture portrays young and sweet Howard before he became TBBT's ultimate pervert. The boy in the picture is undoubtedly cute, but his facial features are somewhat inadequate.

Raj

The cutest of the AI-generated babies, this picture shows TBBT's future most awkward and socially-inept character. In fact, few people could imagine this sweet baby boy growing into Raj as we know him.

Leonard

Because of the hilarious smile, this photo looks generic, like those used as infill for picture frames. But this baby boy definitely looks like Dr. Hofstadter with his wavy hair and budding charisma.

Penny

Unlike the other baby characters, this girl bears little resemblance to the adult Penny we see on TBBT. Her dyed hair is particularly unconvincing, but the overall result is still pretty uncanny.

Sheldon

Not only does this photo remind one of Dr. Cooper, the boy in the picture also looks a lot like Iain Armitage's young Sheldon on the eponymous show. He's adorable but, perhaps, too smiley for naturally austere Sheldon.
