Fatima's Miracle of the Sun as envisioned by A.I.

John Touhey | Aleteia | Image generated using ChatGPT



What did the “Miracle of the Sun” look like to eyewitnesses? Generating A.I. images of their accounts produces fascinating results, but we need to be cautious.

With the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima upon us, my mind turned to her apparitions at Fatima and particularly to the last one on October 13, 1917. It is only natural to think about what it would have been like to be among the tens of thousands gathered that day who saw the “Miracle of the Sun.”

Would it be possible, I wondered, to get some idea of what they saw using generative A.I.?

“Revelatory possibilities”​

Nice stuff. I am surprised why no one pointed a camera at the sun in 1917 though, as camera tech existed back then.

Here is the AI trying to depict another miracle, a Eucharistic miracle. It failed miserably. :)
