Art knows no bounds, and artificial intelligence (AI) has only proved this fact over and over again. With the advent of AI, artists have no limits. AI is advancing on an unprecedented scale. From writing original articles on any topic, passing entrance exams on ChatGPT, to creating images that are artificial and accurate representations of imaginary situations, AI is everywhere. Now, an artist named ‘Sahid’ got his own official Instagram handle and shared ‘Metro’ across different states of the country. He has already released two parts and this is the third.
This part included states such as Kanpur, Kota, Surat, Haryana, Chennai, Chhattisgarh and Kanyakumari. All these images are created during MidJourney. In Khanpur, a figure can be seen carrying a pile of ‘Vimal’. In Haryana, many people can be seen wearing casual clothes and holding sticks, representing typical Haryambi culture. But most interestingly in Chennai, actor Rajinikanth can be seen sitting inside a subway train.
Look at yourself here.

Meanwhile, the first series featured Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi as well as a reimagined metro rail network in states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat and Kerala.
