AI Images of Bhagat Singh, Swami Vivekananda, Kasturba Gandhi & Other Revolutionary Leaders Stun the Internet
Author and Twitter user Keerthik Sasidharan, shared a thread containing AI-prompted images of some of the most powerful revolutionary leaders of India, such as Bhagat Singh, Swami Vivekananda, Kasturba Gandhi, among others. The Twitter thread is surreal!
Revolutionary Voice in the 20s, Bhagat Singh
Kind of surreal to take a photo of the singularly inspiring Bhagat Singh -- a revolutionary voice in 1920s India, who was hung by the British in 1931, at the age of 24 -- run it through the Heritage AI algorithm, and see him reanimated. pic.twitter.com/CfC0Gu6Gxk

The Great Indian Monk, Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda probably would have laughed at such algorithmic efforts to reanimate photos, but as a great believer in the powers of science to improve material aspects of human lives, he would have probably wanted to understand the details of how it all works. pic.twitter.com/3zFu9suGar

Indian Nationalist, Teacher, and an Independence Activist, Lokmanya Tilak
It was hard to find a quality photo of Lokmanya Tilak, but this worked. Tilak urgently deserve a new reappraisal as one of the founding fathers of the modern Indian mind. A reformist & revivalist of traditions, a believer in the power of mass media before most Indians could read. pic.twitter.com/M93KWkR6bc

A Young Kasturba Gandhi
A young Kasturba Gandhi -- again, high quality photos are hard to come by -- here, probably taken during her stay in South Africa (I could be wrong), where she traveled to, raised children, & discovered the contours of her own social commitments before returning to India in 1915. pic.twitter.com/THVz1zyibn

Indian Philosopher, Sri Aurobindo
The great master and teacher Aurobindo wrote, when he was young, a revolutionary spirit, and a restless mind, nearly a century ago: "The Time has perhaps come fot the Indian mind, long pre-ccupied with political and economic issues, for a widening of its horizon." pic.twitter.com/8U9BwxoE7Z

Indian Writer, Munshi Premchand
Munshi Premchand, half bemused, at the newfangled inventions that have come up 80 years after his death. If he were alive, he would probably have used some of it--perhaps, even a novel about of a farmer who wants to buy a computer for his daughter--in his vast oeuvre of writings. pic.twitter.com/dNtm4Dh7CB
