AI Brings Krishna’s Mahabharat Vlogs, Eve’s First-Day on Earth Diary, and History’s Icons Back to Life Online

In a book that no one could have ever imagined, Lord Krishna is clicking selfies with Lord Shankara and Lord Ganpati, Genghis Khan is smiling at you, Eve is documenting her first day on Earth like an influencer. No this is not some plot of a new superhero movie- it is AI doing what it does best lately- bringing historical figures into the modern world in surprisingly realistic ways. Bizarre but true and also very much viral on Instagram. 

A growing number of videos on YouTube and social media now show lifelike versions of famous people from the past. These figures are fully animated, lip-synced, and made to sound like they’re ready to host their own podcasts. The production quality is high, the realism can feel uncanny, and the conversations are often funny or strangely relatable.

In these clips, Caesar might talk about betrayal with modern sarcasm. Napoleon might describe conquering Europe like he’s posting a career milestone on LinkedIn. Some creators even have Jesus Christ vlogging his daily life or Cleopatra on what she did whole day on her last day on Earth. 

While many videos are clearly meant as parody, they look realistic enough. This is why YouTube has started requiring creators to label this kind of content. If a real person is shown saying or doing something they never actually did or if AI heavily changes real footage, a disclosure tag must be added. This helps viewers know the content is altered or synthetic.

YouTube adds this label automatically when its own AI tools, like Dream Track or Dream Screen, are used. But when third-party AI is involved, creators must mark it themselves.

There are still debates about whether it’s ethical to digitally recreate people from history. But for many, it’s just entertaining. Caesar making jokes about Brutus in 4K, Genghis Khan reviewing influencer culture, or Napoleon asking for “short king respect” - it’s strange, but hard to ignore.

Of course, none of these people actually said these things. But in the age of AI, the internet makes sure they probably would have.
