I found this free tool that uses AI to create then and now images from your text instructions. GliF: Then and Now  You can sign in for a free account using Google.

    There are two text boxes - Then and Now. You enter your instructions and in a few seconds you get the image.

    For example: I created the image above with:

    Then: 19th century peasant immigrant family in Eastern European traditional outfits exiting boat on dock in front of Statue of Liberty. sepia tone

    Now: Color image in the same location. Same dock structure and Statue of Liberty in alignment.

    You'll see that the product lacks historical accuracy - but I think it could be a fun activity starter. Try it out and leave some comments or samples and let's see if we can figure out some good lesson ideas

    Here's another one I made. AI "hallucinated" some strange bikes and an inaccurate White House with a rather low fence. 

    Then: 19th century cyclists - male and female riding historical bikes in historical attire in front of White House

    Now: Color photo of White House from same perspective. Make sure then and now White House line up.

    Now: "color picture of the White House in 2020"
    Then: "black and white image of a Thor standing in front of the White House in 1950"
