Artificial Intelligence has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Many high-profile companies are now in the running for winning the race for AI with their own technology and apps. While there are some reservations about the technology, there is still huge excitement about the future and what it can accomplish. It has certainly got Shaquille O?Neal excited.

The former center recently shared a video clip by Defiant Digital on his Instagram page. The clip was a collection of AI-generated pictures of NBA stars. Interestingly, the photos depicted how the stars would look when they were old. The images were reportedly generated by an AI artist called David Zinyama, who specializes in such designs.

The list included the images of O’Neal himself and various other past and present stars. Particularly, with freckles, the image of an elderly Curry looked like 71-year-old Skip Bayless. Netizens were quick to observe it, as one fan commented, “Steph looked like Skip Bayless.”?

The ‘Big Diesel’ time and again shares various All-Time lists by different people on social media platforms. He then asks for the fans’ take on the lists. Notably, he recently shared Jeanie Buss’ All-Time Lakers list, which did not include him, and a few days later, he had an interesting response.

On the other hand, Bayless, during a show, had an interesting comment about Steph a few weeks back while talking about LeBron James.

Skip Bayless’ comment about Stephen Curry

Skip Bayless is a massive fan of NBA legend Michael Jordan. On the other hand, his former colleague, Shannon Sharpe, is a huge LeBron James fan. The two are infamous for their GOAT debates, with both arguing in favor of their favorite stars.

However, Bayless’ prediction during the 2022-23 playoffs shocked the fans. Ahead of the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, the sportscaster picked LeBron over Steph via Twitter. This caused chaos in the NBA world, given the analyst’s comments about James during his previous debates.
