Pope Francis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, or Elon Musk - who can deliver the best rampwalk? If you have ever wondered this strange question, well, artificial intelligence (AI) has an answer. X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk has shared an AI-generated video featuring an eclectic mix of global leaders and famous personalities strutting down the runway. The video, posted by Musk on Monday, has rapidly gained traction, amassing nearly 55 million views at the time of writing.
What Did Musk Post?
The caption of Musk's post reads, "High time for an AI fashion show," and it showcases a unique blend of futuristic fashion worn by notable figures including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, and Mark Zuckerberg.
Check out the video below:
Among the digital avatars, viewers can see US Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, Pope Francis, Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Each personality is dressed in distinct, imaginative outfits.
Who All Are Featured In The Video?
The video opens with Pope Francis, clad in a white puffer jacket, making his entrance.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears next, sporting an off-shoulder Louis Vuitton ensemble. US President Joe Biden is depicted in a printed suit while seated in a wheelchair.
Elon Musk himself is seen in a Tesla-themed suit, while former President Donald Trump dons an orange outfit. Barack Obama goes through multiple outfit changes, and Kim Jong Un is styled in a baggy hoodie with a gold necklace.
Prime Minister Modi appears in vibrant, eye-catching attire.
The finale features Bill Gates walking the runway holding a sign reading "Runway of Power," which humorously transitions into a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error, referencing the major Microsoft outage that occurred on July 19.
Reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly positive (and hilarious), with many users praising the creativity of the video. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, depicted in a red dress, emerged as a favourite among viewers. However, most comments hailed Prime Minister Modi as the standout "winner" of the AI fashion show.
