The Simpsons is such an iconic TV show for a multitude of reasons - from Homer's unique sense of humour, to Bart's cheekiness. Everyone loves the dysfunctional family and can't get enough of their hilarious escapades.
But have you ever stopped to wonder what The Simpsons squad would look like as real people? Well, artist Hidreley Diao has harnessed the power of AI to do just that - and some are seriously freaky.
He used a combination of photoshop and three mobile apps – FaceApp, Gradiente, and Remini - to create the super-realistic images. He captioned the video: "What if The Simpsons were flesh and blood?"
In a piece for Bored Panda, Diao wrote: "When we watch some animation, it is natural to accept the cartoonish proportions of the characters without any problems, after all, we are quite used to this type of trait.
"But what if, as in a spell, they became real, flesh and blood? I tried to bring them into our world through artificial intelligence."

In the comments, some people referred to the images as "perfect" and "amazing", stating that the re-imagining of Moe and Flanders were really realistic.
Someone wrote: "Moe looks like comedian Rich Hall. Moe was based on comedian Rich Hall. Good work", followed by clapping emojis.
And it's not only The Simpsons that he's been making into 'flesh and blood' with AI technology - he's also done the same to Disney princesses, Family Guy characters, and even cartoon superheroes.
He has also simulated what celebrities such as Kurt Cobain might look like, had they not passed away, and has used the impressive technology to try and figure out what children of certain celebrities would be like.
