Since the beginning of the year, options such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/b\/chatgpt\">ChatGPT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/b\/midjourney\">Midjourney<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/b\/dall-e\">DALL-E<\/a> have become an indispensable tool in the daily lives of many users.

More than a decade later and still with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/gta-6-release-date-2025\">little news of GTA VI<\/a>, users fondly remember the adventures of Bellic in Liberty City, a city inspired by <strong>New York<\/strong> that gave him experiences that marked his life. Thus, to pay tribute to the Slav, a user used an AI to recreate a hypothetical real version of him. However, as could be seen in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/StableDiffusion\/comments\/x25vqd\/niko_bellicgta_iv\/\">Reddit post<\/a>, the result is far from the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"275505\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/01-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-275505\" \/><figcaption>Niko bellic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"275506\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/02-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-275506\" \/><figcaption>Niko bellic (AI)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some reason, the AI recreated Niko Bellic is a far cry from the original version. However, it doesn&#8217;t take much digging to find out the reason for this difference: <strong>the light in Bellic&#8217;s photograph<\/strong>. With side lighting, the artificial intelligence could not interpret the character&#8217;s features well, which is why it produced a realistic version that is far from what everyone would have imagined.
