The astonishingly imaginative, incredibly detailed, and frequently photorealistic photos produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are suddenly everywhere on social media
In a similar case, an AI content creator on TikTok, Lucas Freitas requested Midjourney - an AI picture generator, to turn countries into supervillains and the results immediately went viral.
The images were initially shared on TikTok and then reposted on several social media sites.
While some netizens were happy with an elephant as the Indian supervillain, others felt that the AI did not do the job correctly.
AI models that generate stunning imagery from simple phrases are evolving into powerful creative and commercial tools.
OpenAI introduced a world of weird and wonderful mash-ups when its text-to-image model DALL-E was released in 2021.
Type in a short description of pretty much anything, and the program spat out a picture of what you asked for in seconds.
DALL-E 2, unveiled in April 2022, was a massive leap forward.
Google also launched its own image-making AI, called Imagen.
