Art has always had a grip on Indian culture. From tribal art to Mughal architecture, Indians have appreciated the intricacies of art in every form. Now, with the times advancing into virtual realities, AI (artificial intelligence) art has swept the Internet off its feet.

Delhi-Based Artist Releases AI Art On Indian Women

Riding on this wave of AI art fame, a Delhi-based artist recently posted images of men from different parts of India in their “stereotypical” forms. Now, Madhav Kohli has decided to shake the internet again after impressing Desi Twitter with his art once before.

The artist recently posted the female version of his previous post and showed how women from different parts of India look in their “stereotypical” form. He captioned his post, “Indian women, made using stereotypical descriptions and ai.”

The artist used stereotypical descriptions of women from different states of the country, and based on those, AI generated the art. While the art was impressive, many on the internet were left unsatisfied because they had their own descriptions in mind.

Check out the viral post below:

Kohli’s posts have been viewed over 700,000 times and have drawn many likes from users. People online had a lot to say about the art. A user mentioned how none of the women in the art were chubby and wrote, “Matlab kisi bhi jagah ki ladki chubby nahi hoti kya? Unreal beauty standards and no inclusiveness at all.”  

While another triggered individual demanded the apparent descriptions for the art, “What does “stereotypical descriptions” mean exactly? Care to share the prompt? Thanks.”

While another simply joked, “Ai generated picture of Delhi Grill.”

A fellow had questions about the art and Madhav’s intentions behind it, “Why UP n MP in different age groups? Girls in Bengal are not how they actually look. Girls in HP are prettier than shown. Girls of Delhi don’t have this lovely smile.”

While another gentleman noted, “You need to understand AI can’t be the ultimate reality, it’s good for fun but AI takes all the inputs from data created by humans, all these pictures do no represent anything but okay for fun.” 

To some folks, the art looks all the same, “All look same for some reason.”
