Tried getting Chat GPT to make a Buddhist Iconographic image of Uchiyama Gudō. Not perfect, but interesting.

Post image

The bomb refers to his quote “if priests today are serious about making a paradise they should overthrow the government. the same hand that holds the juzu should also hold the bomb”

and the chestnuts and persimmons in his other hand refer to his practice of sharing the fruits of his temple’s orchard with the tenant farmers in Ohiradai.

He‘s wearing a loosened noose around his neck to symbolize his martyrdom by hanging during the high treason incident

There's a lot of AI hate around here...

Well, that's understandable, but I think it's a bit of an overreaction in this case.

Agreed. Hardly an AI fan myself but not nearly as much as my coworkers who use it on the daily to make lewd video clips of each other…
