Can YOU spot the evil dictator…. as a baby? AI reimagines world leaders as infants
>
Even controversial leaders like Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin were once innocent babies – and artificial intelligence captured images of them before they became warlike dictators.
The young rulers were created by Midjourney, an AI-powered image processing software that produces photos from simple text prompts.
Show the results each baby statue wears a suit and dons the iconic hairstyles of the tyrants.
These images follow one of baby Elon Musk who made waves on the internet this month, showing the billionaire as a toddler wearing a white button-up shirt, brown overalls and a signature haircut.

AI-generated images have taken over the internet in recent months, some sparking joy and others causing fear.
In March, a photo of Pope Francis in a huge white puffer jacket instantly fooled the internet.
The image was scandalous enough to prompt Chrissy Teigen, 37, to address her 12.9 million Twitter followers.
The model and TV personality wrote, “I thought the pope’s puffer jacket was real and gave it no second thought. There’s no way I’ll survive the future of technology.”
And in the same month a gallery with photos of shocking scenes in which Donald Trump is knocked to the ground by police officers.
This was around the same time that the former president was due to face charges that he paid hush money to a porn star. However, the public knew something was wrong with the footage.
While these were for entertainment, other AI-generated images, such as one that claimed there was an explosion at the Pentagon last month, showed how the technology can make an impact in the real world. That false image crashed the stock markets.
Baby Vladimir Putin has the same mouth as the real dictator
Baby Bashar al-Assad has the same ears and blue eyes as the Syrian politicians
Created by scientists in Silicon Valley, Midjourney was made available last summer, allowing a large number of people to have the AI generate an image for each of their prompts.
DailyMail.com asked Midjourney to create what world leaders would look like after seeing babies a viral post on Instagram show the same men reimagined by AI.
Kim, Putin and Bashar al-Assad, who has been Syria’s 19th president since 2000, have been accused of human rights violations.
According to the United States Department of StateKim has tortured and unlawfully killed his people, used political prison camps, restricted religion, and censored the media and the internet.
Defectors and the media also reported cases of infanticide and forced abortion, particularly mothers who were political prisoners, persons with disabilities, victims of rape by government officials or prison guards, or prison escapees forcibly repatriated from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). reads the report.
Putin is currently in the middle of an offensive war against Ukraine after invading the sovereign country in February 2022.
China’s Xi Jinping was also reimagined as a baby by Midjourney
In March, the International Criminal Court said it had issued an order against the Russian president, accusing him of personal responsibility for the kidnapping of children in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s human rights chief Dmytro Lubinets has said that 16,226 children have been deported, based on data from the country’s national information agency.
And Assad launched a sarin gas attack on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus in 2019, killing at least 300 people.
Many of the victims were children who died in agony, gagging and suffocating as the gas caused muscle spasms that made breathing impossible.
China’s Xi Jinping was also reimagined as a baby by Midjourney.
He is a politician who has served as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission since 2012.
In 2018, Xi enacted a constitutional reform that removed the previous two-term limit on the presidency, allowing him to remain in power without the need for an election.
“People in China cannot practice the religion or belief of their choice. They cannot openly express their opinions or form or join groups of their choice without fear of harassment, arrest or retaliation. Members of minority groups are subjected to arbitrary mass detention, Orwellian-style surveillance, political indoctrination, torture, forced abortions and sterilization, and state-sponsored forced labor,” the US State Department said.
