AI Forecasts Startling Evolution Of Human Appearance Over The Next Millennium
The people in these pictures don't look happy at all.
Midjourney just dropped a set of AI “future humans” for the year 3000, and they look less like people and more like something built. The faces are consumed by technology, like the tech didn’t just assist them, it took over.
In these images, fashion turns into face coverings with embedded wires and motors, facial skin is basically optional, and the whole “average person” vibe gets messy fast. Some people already feel uncomfortable with how “average” portraits represent their country, and this version feels like it’s going to be even harder to recognize, or even tolerate.
It’s a weird glimpse at what comes next, and it begs the question of whether we’re designing humanity or replacing it.
Their faces appear consumed by technology, embodying its influence.

Many people are unhappy with the portrayal of the 'average person' representing their country, and sometimes, it's understandable why.

That’s when the Midjourney portraits start feeling personal, like the tech is wearing the people instead of the other way around.
It also echoes the friend’s emotional plea for a business loan, after the narrator refused to prioritize their finances.
Then the “fashion” details hit, face coverings with embedded wires and motors, and suddenly the whole idea stops sounding hypothetical.
After that, the most unsettling part shows up, facial skin is optional, and the “average person” concept feels less like representation and more like erasure.
By the time you land on the unhappy portrayal of the average country-person, you can’t stop thinking about what’s left of “true selves.”
The AI program Midjourney created pictures showing what humans might look like in the year 3000, and honestly, they're quite strange. They resemble something from a science fiction movie. It's not a pretty sight.
It seems like technology has taken over people's faces, leaving little room for their true selves. It's a strange idea.
These images make us question whether we're becoming too obsessed with technology, to the point where we might lose what makes us human. Perhaps we should focus on ensuring we stay true to what defines our humanity, rather than allowing technology to change us completely.
In 3000, you might not recognize the face, but you’ll still feel the pressure to wear it.
Still shocked by AI faces? This AITA about asking a friend to cover luxury upgrade travel costs is just as messy.
