Artificial Intelligence (AI) art has become the new trending thing on the internet, with users sharing a barrage of artsy illustrations on social media. Hopping on the trend, artist Jyo John Mulloor shared a bunch of AI-generated visuals to show how animals would look like while taking selfies. The images, generated by the AI platform Midjourney, were shared on Instagram on Mr Mulloor's page.
He captioned the pics, ''I recently shared some selfies of my old friends from my past, and I've received a flood of new selfies from all around the world. Some of them are truly captivating. Care to share which one is your favourite?'' In the pictures, different animals are seen capturing selfies with their friends and the results are stunning.

Last month, the same artist posted a series of images showing famous personalities, including Mahatma Gandhi, B R Ambedkar, Mother Teresa and Elvis Presley, taking a selfie. Mr Mullor said that he used the AI software Midjourney to depict "selfies from the past" and photoshop to repaint the pictures.
The pictures also featured Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, former US President Abraham Lincoln, scientist Albert Einstein, Jamaican singer Bob Marley and Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, among others.
