Move aside, Daniel Craig! AI creates the 'perfect' James Bond

While we know James Bond will soon be getting a new look following the departure of Daniel Craig, who will be portraying the iconic spy next remains a mystery. But while we all have been dream casting Idris Elba, Henry Cavill and Tom Hardy, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool has come up with someone completely new. A video game company provided the DeepDream Al software with the current requirements for Bond, set out by producer Barbara Broccoli in August last year. These were that the actor must be a British male under 40 and stand at over 5'10" tall. With an alluring gaze, perfectly tousled hairstyle and chiselled jawline, the man the AI generated is reminiscent of one of the bookies' favourites.

In November, Aaron was said to be a top choice for the role after a successful audition. 'Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September and producers and Barbara loved him,' a source told The Sun at the time. 'He is now one of the front-runners.' Aaron, who is married to Fifty Shades Of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson, 55, has starred in the Kick-Ass movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla and Bullet Train. He also has curly dark hair, piercing eyes and the classic good looks synonymous with the spy, making him a dead ringer of the AI-generated Bond. However, the new image, which shows a man in a crisp white shirt and straight black tie holding an old-fashioned camera, does have one crucial giveaway. If you look closely at his right hand, you can see that he appears to have five fingers on top of a thumb, and his pinky and ring fingers are also deformed. People with too many or too few fingers seems to be the downfall among AI-generated images, as it has been noted time and time again. Twitter user @Rural_Anarchy posted: 'Pretty soon, the only way to tell will be to count the fingers. Unwind Media also prompted the DeepDream Al to generate an image of the next'Bond Girl', instructing it to be a British actress in her mid-twenties and 5'7" tall.
