Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

As India's 80th Independence Day approaches, AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok are being used to turn ordinary selfies into cinematic patriotic portraits. Users upload a photograph and provide detailed prompts to generate tricolour wraps, traditional kurta-pajamas, Ashoka Chakra halos and flag backdrops without needing editing skills. Both Mathrubhumi and Times Now have published sets of prompts for dramatic, traditional and Instagram-ready looks. The instructions stress preserving the person's facial identity, skin tone and hairstyle. The trend reflects growing comfort with generative AI for personal expression. However, both outlets caution that the tools can alter facial details and require careful review of the final image.
