Shakespeare's Sonnet 1 Rendered for the AI Age
Sonnet 1 introduces the themes of beauty, the passage of time, virtue, and the poet's love for the young man. In the culture of Shakespeare's time, procreation was considered an important duty. The speaker urges the young man to procreate to preserve his beauty and prevent it from fading with time. The speaker argues that the young man is his own enemy for not reproducing, and that he is being selfish by hoarding his beauty for himself. The speaker ends by asking the young man to "pity the world" and reproduce, or else be a glutton who eats the beauty he owes to the world.
Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 1 is read aloud by an "AI William Shakespeare." AI produced Shakespeare's voice and appearance. It is accompanied by music, and Eleven Labs' voice technology is used. SDXL produced the lifelike portrayal of William Shakespeare. D-ID animated the image.
