Artificial Intelligence has struck again as an artist created hyperrealistic photos of the world’s wealthiest persons as underprivileged.

The pictures, which were shared on Instagram, showed Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, dressed in the kind of attire typically worn by impoverished individuals, and posed in a slum-like environment.

The digital artist Gokul Pillai made these hyperrealistic shots using an AI programme “Midjourney”. The same programme was used to create viral Trump arrest photos.

The post quickly gained traction on social media, garnering over 14,000 likes and numerous comments.

He wrote: “Slumdog Millionaires. (Did I miss to include anyone in the list?).”

What is Midjourney?

The software was founded in San Francisco by David Holz in 2022. It employs a unique system of generating images through the use of natural language prompts, a technique also employed by OpenAI’s DALL-E and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion.
