Fictional Places Brought to Life With A.I.

Thanks to the power of AI, the line between fact and fiction has never been thinner! With the press of a few buttons, it's possible to generate images of things that have never existed in the real world. 

Today, we're taking a look at some famous fictional spots as interpreted by AI. While we've seen many of these places on TV or the big screen, you haven't seen them quite like this. Let's just say that the AI made some "interesting" choices when deciding how to depict some of these.

From animated hometowns to spaceships sailing beyond the stars, here are famous fictional places brought to life with AI. 

Let's get started! 

Hogwarts

Hogwarts

Considering there's a Harry Potter theme park, it's already technically possible to visit this magical world in real life, but we have to admit this version of Hogwarts looks pretty cool. 

AI managed to capture the magic of this massive boarding school, and we're eagerly awaiting an owl with a letter to tell us that we've been accepted!

The Shire

The Shire

The Shire might be a creation from the brilliant mind of J.R.R. Tolkien, but AI has managed to do a pretty good job of bringing this cozy place to life itself! 

We see several familiar Hobbit homes built into the hills, and if the real estate market ever cools down, we'd love to move right in ourselves!

Westeros

Westeros

If this picture was all we knew of Westeros from Game of Thrones, we'd say it looks like a pretty cool place to live. However, for anyone familiar with the books or the TV show, that place is just too crazy to live in, no matter how gorgeous it looks. 

The views may be stunning, but are they really worth losing your head over?

Narnia

Narnia

The world of Narnia came alive thanks to the brilliant writing of C.S. Lewis, and we'd like to think that he would approve of this artistic rendering of his iconic fantasy land. 

While there's more to Narnia than just snow, this image was smart to focus on what makes this magical land so memorable.

Pandora

Pandora

The lush, rainforest-inspired world of Pandora stunned viewers when they first saw it on the big screen in the hit movie Avatar

While the AI did a good job of portraying Pandora in this image, we just don't think there's a better view of this fantasy world than the original CGI work from the film.

Gotham City

Gotham City

Is there ever an instance where Gotham City doesn't look bleak and depressing? Considering it's constantly overrun with criminals, we can see why that's the norm! 

In this image, AI gave us an interesting top-down view of the iconic city from the Batman franchise. Things look quiet in the photo, but we're sure that will change before too long.

Springfield

Springfield

Things can get weird quickly when you make the jump from animation to real life, and this image of Springfield from The Simpsons is no exception. 

While it looks quaint and fun when done in the traditional animation style of the show, things just look slummy and bleak when transferred into the real world. Has Springfield always been this dense?

Wonderland

Wonderland

Judging by this photo, it looks like the citizens of Wonderland may have fallen on hard times! Why does everything look so dilapidated? 

It's clear that the money stopped flowing after the Alice in Wonderland heyday! Let's hope the Queen of Hearts approves some beautification projects ASAP.

Wonderland (The Queen's Castle)

Wonderland (The Queen's Castle)

This castle just screams extravagance and whimsy...and would you expect anything less from the Queen of Hearts? This is the perfect place for her to enjoy a game of croquet or behead an enemy. 

We wouldn't say no to a home like this, but rooming with the Queen is a huge deal breaker!

The Matrix

The Matrix

This image of the Matrix looks pretty cool at first glance. It very much keeps the cyberpunk feel of the film series. However, we have one question. 

What in the world happened to poor Keanu Reeves? In this photo, he looks like he's sporting Leatherface's mask from Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Starship Enterprise

Starship Enterprise

If you want to explore the universe in style, you can't do much better than the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. This famous ship was home base for the crew in many of the franchise's TV shows and movies. 

In this image, we get a very modern, sleek interpretation of the Enterprise. The throw pillows with the Star Trek logo are the perfect touch!

Neverland

Neverland

When you think about who lives in Peter Pan's Neverland (a bunch of ill-behaved boys and a maniacal pirate), it doesn't seem like a great place to be. However, this gorgeous photo has us itching for a visit. 

We'd gladly walk Captain Hook's plank if it meant cascading into those gorgeous tropical waters!

The Hundred Acre Wood

The Hundred Acre Wood

Winnie the Pooh might not be the most reliable when it comes to dietary information, but he got things absolutely right when he plopped a house down right in the middle of the Hundred Acre Wood. That's the life! 

This rendering of his home is so gorgeous that we're almost tempted to pull a fast one on him and claim squatter's rights.

Wakanda

Wakanda

Seeing Wakanda on the big screen during Black Panther was pretty cool, and we must admit that this image makes it look even cooler! The technology-meets-nature vibe is one we love. 

To top it all off, the fact that Black Panther himself is looking on from above just makes things even more awesome.

Rivendell

Rivendell

In the Lord of the Rings series, Rivendell is known as the home of the elves. And let's just say that they know a thing or two about living in style! 

This image perfectly captures the lush beauty and decadence of this otherworldly abode. Living on a cliff face never looked this good!

The Death Star

The Death Star

The Death Star was probably the coolest-looking ship in the original Star Wars universe, but that doesn't mean we didn't love seeing it blown to smithereens at the end of the film! 

In this image, the AI clearly thought it was time for a color scheme change for the iconic ship by draping in very menacing blacks and reds.
