We asked AI what Shrewsbury will look like in the year 3000 - this is what it came up with
What will Britain look like in the Year 3,000?
Barring a miracle in medical science in the next few years, we'll never know if Busted's prophecy that we'll all be living under water comes true.
But there's so much possibility for change over the intervening centuries. Look how far mankind has come since the turn of the previous millennium.
Could future Britons be toiling under the yoke of alien invaders? If we managed to fast forward a thousand years would we find that climate change has completely upended life and the geography of the British Isles?
In an attempt to find the answers to such existential questions, we turned to the AI image generator NightCafe.
See its predictions for Shrewsbury, as well as other other famous towns and cities such as London, Blackpool and Edinburgh.
There are some dramatic results, and while some towns remain recognisable, some have changed completely - with some major geological changes forecast!
The prompts we set for the AI-tool were: what would the city look like in the year 3,000? And then in a second attempt: what would the city look like in a thousand years.
