What happened

Gokul Pillaian AI artist, shared these portraits on Instagram

, where he has 34.5 thousand followers. He used Midjourneyan artificial intelligence program that uses text-based instructions to generate seemingly realistic but false images.

The series consists of artificial intelligence-generated fake images of business moguls such as Elon Musk

, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg And Mukesh Ambani. These billionaires are depicted in contexts of extreme poverty where they wear simple rags.

Because it is important

Last month, a fake AI-generated image of Pope francesco wearing a giant white puffer jacket has gone viral on social media forums like Reddit And Twitter.

AI-powered tools have also been used to create fake images of former US President Donald Trump being arrested.

While not all AI-generated images can be deemed harmful, this does not undermine concerns about the misuse of AI tools.

Previously, several users had complained that they had seen ads from a deepfake app that showed the face of Emma Watsonfamous for Harry Potter, on a provocative video. Some female Twitch streamers have also complained of similar issues.
