Homeless Billionaires? AI Artist Renders Shocking Imaginations Of Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, Elon Musk

What Happened: Gokul Pillai, an AI artist, shared these portraits on Instagram, where he has 34.5K followers. He used Midjourney, an AI program that uses text-based prompts to generate seemingly realistic but fake images.

Why It's Important: Last month, an AI-generated fake image of Pope Francis wearing a gigantic white puffer jacket became viral on social media forums like Reddit and Twitter. 

AI-powered tools have also been used to create fake images of former U.S. President Trump getting arrested. 

While all the aforementioned AI-generated images could be kept under the non-harmful category, it doesn't undermine concerns about AI tools being abused.

Previously, several users complained about seeing ads for a deep fake app that showed "Harry Potter" fame Emma Watson's face being swapped onto a suggestive video. Some female Twitch streamers also complained about similar issues.
