Dieter Bohlen excites with AI baby comeback of Modern Talking and causes laughter on the internet!

Yes, you heard right! Dieter Bohlen, always good for a surprise, has used artificial intelligence to bring a curious art project to life. And who is featured in it? None other than himself and his longtime companion Thomas Anders, both transformed into adorable babies with the legendary long hair. Imagine these mini-versions of the pop icons belting out their cult song "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" – and of course, the whole thing includes the indispensable "Bohlen fist" and the wildest hairstyles of the 80s.

A golden "Dieter" around Thomas Anders' neck?

Anyone who knows Modern Talking is aware of the iconic "Nora" necklace that Thomas Anders wore around his neck for years as a tribute to his then-wife. But in this new viral clip, there is a spectacular twist! Instead of the well-known name, there is now a golden chain with the pendant "Dieter" around baby Thomas's neck. A PR stunt with a wink, humorously commenting on the long-standing, often difficult relationship between the two musicians. Consider this: Modern Talking split in 1987 amid conflict, had a comeback from 1998 to 2003, but they haven't really been on good terms since. This baby appearance is all the more surprising!

The baby AI trend rolls through the net

However, Dieter Bohlen is by no means the only one who has succumbed to the sweet baby trend. Social media is teeming with stars and influencers who transform themselves or other celebrities into tiny versions using AI. Whether it's YouTube stars like Laserluca and Selfiesandra or the podcast kings Felix Lobrecht and Tommi Schmitt from "Gemischtes Hack" – they have all appeared as cute, yet still adult-sounding babies. Their voices remain unchanged, which creates a particularly funny effect.

Why the hype also has its downsides

As funny and entertaining as this baby AI trend is, there is also a serious side. Legally, such deepfake videos are controversial. Experts warn of legal risks for the creators of the clips, as it can be an infringement on the right to self-determination of the depicted persons. Even if it is often understood as fun with celebrities, the question remains of how far artificial intelligence can go when it comes to image and personal rights. An exciting field that will surely keep us busy in the future!
