Mona Lisa

We asked ChatGPT to imagine how famous personalities of the past would look like today, and the results are simply stunning. Mona Lisa, for example, looks like the perfect corporate girl with her specs in place, neat coat, and her calm posture.

Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh, one of the most iconic painters of all time, is imagined as a hip, street-style artist, who has ditched the canvas and now paints on walls.

Medusa

Medusa, the woman who could turn men into stone, is also imagined in a modern, corporate avatar. With her Crown of Snakes still intact, she sips on coffee as she commutes to work.

Julius Caeser

We rarely ever see a picture of Julius Caesar, but this AI-generated image feels pretty apt. With gray hair that comes with experience in life, Caesar sports a casual shawl on the side.

William Shakespeare

Ditching the typewriter and pen-paper of the olden times, Shakespeare now writes his plays, poems, and stories in a fancy coffee shop, cappucino in his cup, and eyes glued to the screen.

Jaun Elia

Sadness never leaves Jaun and he continues to mesmerise people in his Mushayras. His long hair, the inherent sadness, the soft eyes, all of it looks so real.
