One of the titans of 20th century music left us 20 years ago. Today we ask artificial intelligence what Ray Charles would be like in 2023.
Ray Charles is one of the most important voices in music and there is no one who doesn’t know his song “Hit the Road Jack”. The African-American pianist and singer is American history and an influence that lives on in music.
Today it’s time to ask artificial intelligence what Ray Charles would be like if he were still alive and had not died two decades ago. Let’s see how the AI imagines the man born in Albany 90 years ago.
A natural leader who changed the music without being able to see
Ray Charles was an American singer, songwriter, pianist and bandleader born in 1930 in Albany, Georgia. You probably remember him with his big black glasses and cane. Because Ray Charles was blind.
He is known as one of the pioneers of soul music and is credited with combining elements of blues, gospel and rhythm and blues to create a distinctive sound.
Throughout his career, Ray Charles had several hits, including “What’d I Say,” “Georgia on My Mind” and “Hit the Road Jack”. He was also a civil rights activist and participated in the fight against racial segregation.
Ray Charles passed away on June 10, 2004 at the age of 73 due to liver complications. Something common in people suffering from addiction… and Ray Charles was a drug addict for most of his life.
His musical legacy has been widely recognized and he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
We asked Stable Diffusion what Ray Charles would look like at 90. The result looks more like a sick joke than an approximation of reality.
We can’t be sure that the CEO of Stable Diffusion is not Ray Charles’ biggest enemy, but we wouldn’t be surprised. Jokes aside, enjoy his discography on Spotify, he was one of the greatest and worth listening to.
