It appears that AI has already become a part of many people's lives. Some AI enthusiasts use it to reimagine popular images and create alternative versions. The same applies to the person behind the AI Dreams Instagram, who recently shared a collection of famous memes placed alongside their recreations, all with a specific 19th-century look.

Bored Panda reached out to the author of the vintage meme recreations to ask a couple of questions about them. We also wanted to know how the creator of AI Dreams started his adventure with AI. We found out that: “I began utilizing artificial intelligence about a year ago when its image-generation capabilities were experiencing exponential improvements. I immediately found it to be an extraordinary tool that allowed me to translate what I had in my mind into visuals.”

We were also wondering what the process of recreating popular memes looked like. The author shared with us: “Essentially, starting with an idea in my mind, I develop the prompt that enables me to generate an image as closely as possible to what I envision, using models like Midjourney or DELL-e. Afterward, depending on the image, I might use other software programs to enhance its quality or add finer details.”

Asked how the creator of AI Dreams came up with the idea of transforming famous memes into their 19th-century versions, they answered: “The idea for the meme project had been brewing in my mind for a while. I wanted to recreate famous memes in distinctive styles. The recent launch of DELL-E 3, which is highly responsive in terms of prompt comprehension, enabled me to execute this concept very effectively.”

Next, we were curious to find out what the author of reimagined images thinks about the widespread backlash against AI being used to create “art”. We learned that: “As for the prejudice that many people still hold towards artificial intelligence in art, it's understandable that there might be skepticism. People often value the personal touch and emotional connection in art, and there can be concerns that AI might replace human creativity. However, I believe that over time, as AI continues to evolve and artists find creative ways to integrate it into their work, perceptions will change. AI can be a powerful tool to enhance and complement human creativity, rather than replace it.”

Lastly, we asked the creator to share some thoughts about AI with Bored Panda readers: “In reality, I'm a person brimming with ideas, and AI has allowed me to unleash my creative potential. I always strive to infuse a sense of humor into my creations, aiming to bring a smile to those who view them.”
