People may now make hyperrealistic yet creative images in minutes thanks to artificial intelligence-powered applications such as DALL-E and Midjourney. Vikas Khanna, an Indian chef and restaurateur, has joined the AI bandwagon.
Khanna released an AI-created image of the Mona Lisa reclining at a table packed with food on Saturday. Khanna captioned the photograph, “Ok, I did this with AI.” Mona Lisa is eating Indian food.”
A Twitter user said, “Indian food is so delicious, I am sure even Monalisa must have liked it.” “It looks like Monalisa is enjoying the Last Supper,” said another. “No Samosa, Jalebi?” someone said. Disappointed:((lol”.
People’s artistic endeavors have long focused on the Mona Lisa. ReshaWeaves, a fabric manufacturer specializing in natural fiber goods, launched an online campaign in September of last year featuring the Mona Lisa in various Indian weaves. The Mona Lisa was given local names in line with the regional handloom saree in the well-edited and imaginative advertising.
The ‘Mona in Six Yards Across India’ advertisement features Mona Lisa in a variety of incarnations, including Maharani Lisa from Rajasthan, Lisa Mol from Kerala, Lisa Tai from Maharashtra, Lisa Devi from Bihar, and Lisa Mami from Tamil Nadu, among many more. In one post, they depict Mona Lisa’s South Delhi equivalent, dubbed “Lisa Mausi,” who is seen in her affluent splendor with a luxury purse, an iPhone, and sunglasses.
