If given the choice, most people probably would tell you they were intrigued by the possibility of seeing what their appearance looks like in the future. FaceApp has gone viral recently by doing just that, using artificial intelligence technology to simulate what someone will look like when they reach old age. This movement has generated some amazing memes and is just the latest filter to become a sensation on social media.
People all over the internet have been posting both pictures of themselves and of celebrities with the old-age filter applied.
The sports world has jumped in on the phenomenon, as the Kings posted photos of all of their players on Twitter with the filter applied, and some of the results will frighten you.

While we've got quite a few years before any of these players come close to the ages being resembled by the application, it certainly provides some humor as we finally enter a quiet period of the NBA offseason.
