KUALA LUMPUR, April 10 — An artist based in Mysore, India has captured worldwide attention on social media with the subject of his AI generated art.

Gokul Pillai used Midjourney, an artificial intelligence art generator, to depict the world’s wealthiest as hardcore poor with mind-blowing results.

The dramatic pictures show billionaires in Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk standing in rubbish-littered slums and dressed in rags.

Trump’s was the most realistic with the misery of poverty etched on his face.

"Slumdog Millionaires. (Did I miss to include anyone in the list?)” posted Pillai on Instagram.

To date, it has garnered over 10,000 likes and over 200 comments.

"Elon Musk still looks confident and something is definitely cooking in his mind,” said one user.

"Somewhere in a parallel universe,” said another.

"Where are the women billionaires?” asked a third.

There were also plenty of suggestions of who else to include such as Jack Ma of Ali Express, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault and former president of Brazil Bolsonaro.
