Let’s envision Lesya Ukrainka today – a strong, brave, and indomitable figure. She might not have just penned poems; instead, her voice could resonate through screens and social media, urging a fight for justice. Her words could serve as weapons, and her creativity as a manifesto for freedom. With the help of cutting-edge technologies, we can not only imagine a completely different world but also glimpse a modern-day Lesya Ukrainka.
The writer could engage in the arts, advocate for women's rights, and promote Ukrainian culture. On the occasion of the 154th anniversary of the poetess’s birth, "Telegraph" utilized AI to portray what Lesya Ukrainka might have been like if she lived today.
The contemporary Larisa Kosach (the writer's real name) could be not only a poetess but also an active social figure, leveraging the internet to advance human rights, gender equality, and the protection of cultural heritage.
Lesya Ukrainka might also have become an international leader—promoting Ukraine and speaking about the full-scale invasion to the world. It’s likely that she would have engaged in volunteer work, providing assistance to our military. Perhaps she would even visit the front lines to recite her poems for our defenders.
The writer might have hosted live streams and online discussions, participating in conversations about the future of Ukraine and the world, inspiring youth to take an active civic stance through her example. In her poems, she would elevate the national spirit of Ukrainians.
The modern Lesya Ukrainka would not forget her roots. She would support the revival of the Ukrainian language and promote Ukrainization.
Previously, "Telegraph" explored how, according to AI, the heroes of Ukrainian fairy tales and cartoons would look in real life. Aeneas with an earring, and Captain Vrungel—slim and fit.
