How was it like to travel back in time to some famous scenes from history and take a selfie?
This may sound like something that only Doraemon props can do, such as a "time machine" that allows you to travel through time or a "fast travel camera", which can directly P you to other images.
But in reality, without relying on PS and without letting the film crew help with the set, someone "crossed" back in time and left a selfie.
Like this netizen Stelfie, he came directly to the scene of the Battle of Troy:
Good fellow, I didn't expect to have him when the siege was taken, and the soldiers around him were shouting around the Trojan, while he was smiling and standing in the center of the famous scene to take a picture of himself.
But in fact, this photo is actually generated by AI, and I didn't expect that artificial intelligence could also be studied by netizens to play this game.
Stelfie calls himself a "time traveler", he has been using AI to generate various selfies through time and space since the end of last year, but it seems to have completed the filming of a time-travel drama without leaving home, not only traveling all over the world, but also visiting a number of famous time nodes.
On the first day of departure, he showed off his crossing equipment, and the equipment that the drawing AI matched him looked like he was going skydiving:
And this is his cross-control remote, a foreign version of the "moonlight box", solar-powered, which can display the strength of the sun, battery status and other data.
I feel that the old brother is also making up more and more heads.
His first stop was Egypt in 1801 BC, which took more than 3,800 years. Behind it are three pyramids as well as a dense crowd. The old local man looked at him taking a selfie with a question mark on his face.
The next day, Stelfie arrived on Columbus's ship in 1492.
He said Columbus was a little lost at the time, and then he gave directions and the crew behind him looked excited.
It was in history that Columbus embarked on his first voyage in August 1492, when a fleet of three ships reached the American continent in October.
He then traveled to Italy in 1507 and met Leonardo da Vinci for a group photo.
The work in front of him is the world-famous painting "Mona Lisa", and the girl behind it is estimated to be the AI-generated Mona Lisa herself.
AI understands beauty.
Looking at the perfect woman, Stelfie came to the American West in the 18th century, and it seems that he is about to duel with cowboys, but he is still taking pictures, and it seems that he is not afraid of sneak attacks by his opponents.
In the blink of an eye, he was in England in 1266, apparently in front of the castle where the two sides were fighting fiercely, and he was lucky enough to be hit in the mouth by a stone while taking pictures.
At least two teeth were smashed off.
It is likely that the war took place in a siege of Kenilworth Castle in England, which lasted for half a year.
Although the tooth may be gone, he did not go to the dentist, but in 1889, under the starry sky, he put his arm around Van Gogh:
Van Gogh's famous painting "Starry Moon Night" was also born in this year.
Stelfie then traveled to 1872 to meet and photograph Darwin, the year he published The Expression of Human and Animal Emotions.
Netizens are curious, who is the handsome guy in the middle?
In 937 AD, a bald figure also appeared on the ships of the Vikings.
In 1961, he repaired his beard in Spain for the painter Salvador Dalí:
In 1703, he went to sea again, only this time not on board, but at sea. He lost a naval battle, and fortunately the phone is waterproof.
In 1887, Stelfie went to see Tesla and looked at his drawings, the year the big man invented an induction motor.
In addition to these, he has also run to many outrageous places.
Once he landed on a wasteland, and then there was a hungry dinosaur behind him, which seemed to have traveled back more than 65 million years.
Also went to Mars, tied a tent on it, and the sign on the shoulder of the spacesuit reads AI:
Spending Christmas with Santa Claus, it is said that his wish is to get a new tooth.
The most interesting thing is to go back to Rome in 46 BC, copying a wave of the most popular classic emojis, and the two next to them should be Caesar and Cleopatra.
This kind of travel is different from previous photographs or P-pictures, not only looks realistic but also does not seem to require any major engineering, people are looking forward to Stelfie's new journey, and they are even more curious about how he used AI to achieve this crossing effect.
One of the AI tools he uses is Stable Diffusion, which uses keywords to generate realistic graphics. For example, "put a toilet in the desert with many flowers":
Interestingly, the person Stelfie does not exist in reality, and this bald image is also a character generated by the creator with a computer, and then inserted into the background image with AI. So each picture takes him about 3 to 15 hours to polish, which is not a simple process, but it is still much easier than the real shot.
Another thing that attracts attention is that there will be more and more fake pictures created by such AI in the future.
In fact, it's not just Stelfie, someone has tried to use AI to make a picture to fake the real thing, and the old brother Kyle Vorbach has faked a false life for a month.
This old man also uses AI to generate images, and the content is a false plot that has never happened, but it looks very real. In this false life, his life began to take off, living in a big house and driving a luxury car.
More fake pictures will naturally bring various problems, such as how to identify AI-generated pictures, whether this technology will be used in the field of fraud, and so on.
In addition, I don't know if after several rounds of civilization changes, this "picture of a bald naked man being chased by a mammoth" will confuse future generations.
