Frank Walton Seaver in 1906 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #888

 This is one of the priceless (to me) photographs in my computer file folders:

The image above was created by OpenAI ChatGPT5 received after I asked it to sharpen, enhance and colorize the sepia image below (which I snipped from a larger photograph - it is only 10 kb in size - see the larger sepia photo here):

I also asked Google Gemini 2.5 Flash to sharpen, enhance and colorize the sepia image, and received this image:

And here is the Microsoft CoPilot image:

The person in these images is my great-grandfather, Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922).  It was taken in about 1906 in front of the Hildreth/Seaver home in Leominster, Massachusetts.  This is the only image I have of Frank Seaver.

All three of the AI generated images are realistic, but it is difficult to tell which is more accurate.  The ChatGPT5 image is more colorful and Frank's face seems unemotional.  The Gemini image is less colorful and Frank's face seems sad.  The CoPilot image is perhaps the closest to the sepia small photograph. 

This photograph is a part of my family history.
