Recently, I visited the little red book and accidentally brushed a video.
NBA star Kobe Bryant, wearing a monk’s robe, is religiously burning incense in a place similar to a temple. The picture is filled with smoke, and Kobe’s face is solemn, as if making a promise.
Kobe Bryant, who once threw back his jumper on the court and killed the quartet, now put down Spalding’s basketball and the feud of NBA, picked up a broom, walked through the candlestick, and cleaned up his troubles.

Faced with this situation, some netizens wondered, didn’t Kobe die in a plane crash on January 26, 2020? Did he fake his death, but in fact he was tired of the bustling life in Los Angeles and fled into an empty net?
If you look at the above pictures carefully, you can see a sense of alienation that does not belong to reality.
For example, Kobe swept the floor, and the proportion of the soles of his feet was extremely strange, even sweeping out six toes.
Holding the broom in his right hand is also like the first time that aliens who have taken away the earth have used non-planetary scientific and technological items.

Yes, the above pictures are from Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program that uses natural language to describe and generate images.
As long as I send a command to the intelligent robot on its designated webpage, for example, I enter "Greek philosopher Plato, programming on the computer, and the space presents a sense of science and technology", the robot will generate a picture for me of Plato sitting in a marble chair and playing a notebook similar to a MacBook.
Or if I type "Bronze, Mecha Core, Anime Female Character, Super Realistic Style", it will generate a comic protagonist for me.
Although it is a little rough, it takes only a few tens of seconds from the input of instructions to the drawing, and it can choose a picture to continue to optimize until the user is satisfied with the image.
This program is still evolving rapidly, because it has the learning ability of AI in the new era, and can recognize and learn the images uploaded by users for making pictures.
For example, I uploaded a classic photo of Keanu Reeves, adding China’s photography style in the 1990s, as well as elements such as farms and shepherds.
Midjourney gave me feedback on a rural version of Keanu Reeves in China.
Upload a classic photo of Jordan holding the ball and add keywords such as "highlighting muscle lines and dunking".
I got a Jordan makeup photo with a muscle explosion and fierce eyes.
And this means that Midjourney has the ability to link with reality.
Anything we can see in our daily life can become a part of virtual image capture. The moment you yawn on the subway, the moment you are in a daze at the station, and the moment you laugh and laugh in the restaurant can all be transformed into elements of an image, which can be recognized, understood and learned.
For example, a young man entered the voice and pictures of his deceased grandmother and "resurrected" an AI version of his grandmother. He repeatedly told the young man’s father not to drink and to pay attention to his health.
As described in the comment area, Midjourney’s AI technology is forming a parallel universe outside our reality.
When this ability to link with reality is used in the groups we are familiar with, it will produce an extremely absurd impression. Here, politicians become street hooligans or prisoners in jail.
Obama and Biden lost their usual seriousness and played slot machines in the arcade hall.
The rich man became a tramp begging on the street and stepped on the sewing machine of the assembly line.
Bill Gates stepped on the sewing machine
James became a plasterer on the construction site and lifted a 2-kg Shi Zhuan.
AI parallel world
Everyone has heard the story of the parallel universe more or less.
For example, the TV series The Man in the High Castle tells the story that during World War II, the Axis countries led by Germany defeated the Allies and the United States was occupied and transformed.
Similarly, in the political field, the politicians with suits and serious faces that we usually see on the news may turn their heads and smirk in the world of AI, or the situation will turn sharply and become a caged bird.
Some time ago, a series of pictures of Trump’s arrest and imprisonment were madly transmitted on the Internet.
Although Trump in the picture is smiling, he is still wearing electronic ankles.
Trump, who was all-powerful on social media, lost his proud voice channel and cleaned up the prison sewer by hand.
Former US President Barack Obama, who has stepped down, is smoking with Biden in a parallel world, and it is even difficult to tell the truth without looking at his fingers.
And if politicians are drawn mainly because of their political ideas in the parallel world of AI, then the rich are spoofed because of their wealth.
In the parallel world of AI, "the rich who become poor ghosts" is an important branch.
For example, a blogger named Xiao D in Little Red Book uploaded a post entitled "In the world of AI, let them be poor once".
Bezos, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and other human beings who stand at the apex of human wealth have become real millionaires in slums.
In 2022, Buffett’s lunch cost $19,001,000, but in the parallel world of AI, it seems that only $10 can make this dirty old man with a tight belt eat two hot dogs and have a full meal.
In contrast to Buffett’s big belly, Bill Gates’ ribs are clearly visible. This computer genius has lost his old spirit, withered face and bamboo-like body. At first glance, he is mistaken for Gandhi who changed the front page.
In another parallel world, there is no miracle of Microsoft, only a buzzing sewing machine, spending every dusk and morning with Bill Gates.
The skinny Zuckerberg looks like a slum boy living in District 9.
The above four, who made their fortune earlier, belong to old gods, the wealth of the last century. The richest man who has become a pauper is Musk, the richest man in the new century.
Because Musk’s pictures were uploaded too much, AI learned Musk’s appearance very well, and the pictures made were extremely realistic.
Musk’s changeable identity is more than that of Martin. He sometimes spreads the cultivation techniques of Chinese cabbage in vast vegetable fields.
Sometimes I personally go to the assembly line to process parts.
There is no trace of PS in the picture of its car repair, and it is no different from a real mechanic in posture and technique.
Musk, who didn’t mix well, became a street tramp and spent all day in the alley with garbage.
However, his unruly temperament is very sharp even if he is wearing a garbage bag.
Even in the poorest villages, Musk is like a naked donor who comes to inspect.
In the parallel world of AI, it is not entirely a spoof about the above power and wealth, but also accompanied by controversy and resistance to new technologies.
Such as copyright and portrait rights.
Chris Kashtanova, the author of the comic book Dawn, almost all the contents of his new book are generated by Midjourney. The US Copyright Office believes that the images generated by artificial intelligence Midjourney are not protected by copyright.
Software such as Midjourney has been jointly sued by artists for many times.
Artists Sarah, Kelly and Kara claimed that AI drawing violated the rights of "millions of artists".
They trained their artificial intelligence tools with 5 billion pictures grabbed from the Internet "without the consent of the original artists". Artists think that Midjourney abuses the pictures captured on the Internet to improve his algorithm, which should have been part of their creation.
Carla Ortiz is famous for designing Doctor Strange.
On Kara’s Twitter, she called on artists to take a class action lawsuit and accuse them of cheating on their cultural creation rights.
And launched a fundraising campaign to protect artists from AI technology. Up to now, they have received a donation of $250,000 from their supporters.
In addition to all disputes, some people also use AI technology to resurrect the dead. They can be idols in their own hearts, such as Kobe Bryant; It can also be your deceased grandparents, grandparents, sons and daughters.
People living in the AI world
In the AI world, all the dead can be resurrected here, and Kobe is the most famous one.
On Midjourney, people hope that Kobe can live in any way. He can dance academy in an alley in Brooklyn or deliver pizza.
Or he often accompanied the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and converted to Buddhism together with his career in Zijin Dynasty.
Kobe Bryant on Midjourney even said that he can achieve "eternal life" in some form, because the real death is being forgotten.
In the parallel world of AI, there are also thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian who have not been forgotten and have been resurrected in the AI world.
In 2021, a trend of "dynamic photos" swept the short video platform, and video publishers used the AI technology at that time to make the photos of the deceased move and comfort the living.
Someone used this technology to help grandpa resurrect grandma. Even the animation technology, which seemed quite rough at that time, reminded the living of the time spent with the deceased.
Or help the mother "resurrect" her grandmother and let technology get through the grave.
A user lost his father when he was 6 years old, and he had never seen his father’s appearance. After seeing his "resurrected" father, he was moved.
In the comment area, this technology has aroused more people’s resonance.
Just as the theme of all science fiction movies is to discuss human nature and love, technology is not all radical and cruel crazy paranoia.
In 2008, Ye Hongmei lost her 7-year-old daughter forever in the Wenchuan earthquake. In the following 10 years, this ordinary middle-aged woman in Sichuan moved to 104 mobile phone stores, only to repair the old-fashioned slide phone with her daughter’s photo damaged in the earthquake.
But no one can repair this old-fashioned product.
In the end, the 10 software engineers who learned about this took 22 days to rewrite the program of the mobile phone, and Ye Hongmei finally saw her daughter.
And this may be the meaning of AI images.
It allows us to communicate with our deceased relatives, make virtual images link with real thoughts, make us create a cloud that belongs to us after a hundred years, and make full use of our brains to create a completely parallel world.
The era of Midjourney and AI has just arrived. Perhaps in the future, when technology is more advanced, everyone can understand and enjoy the convenience of AI.
At present, they still have some distance from ordinary people, just like at this time, an ordinary person who lost his mother is asking how to see his mother.
I hope he can get his wish in the virtual world in the future.
