The Deep Nostalgia app revives your missing loved ones, finally in GIF not for real -
MyHeritage
You have surely seen them abound on social networks, these personal photos, portraits of masters and other archival images coming to life for a few seconds, like GIFs.
A technological feat that we owe to the MyHeritage site and its Deep Nostalgia application, based on artificial intelligence and deep learning.
The idea is to animate static images, and at the same time, to revive the dead in a delirium à la
Black Mirror
.

If MyHeritage was aimed at family photos, it didn't take long for internet users to have fun with technology and "rekindle" Mona Lisa, Rimbaud, Neanderthals and even Phil Collins.
Yes, it goes too far.
The result is still stunning, but also a little creepy.
If the use of the app requires registration, the site promises that the uploaded photos are then deleted, respecting personal data.
