Katy Perry says mum conned by fake AI Met Gala pic

Katy Perry revealed that her mother was deceived by a fabricated AI-generated image of her at the Met Gala. The fake images of Rihanna and Dua Lipa also garnered significant attention on social media.

Fake Met Gala images of Rhianna and Dua Lipa were also viewed by millions on social media.

Although both singers were absent from the event, fake images of them still managed to spread on X, previously known as Twitter. Perry took to Instagram to share two fake pictures of herself with the caption “couldn’t attend the MET, had to prioritize work.” One particular image of her wearing a floral gown with moss trim garnered over 13 million views on X.

The photo made its debut at the opening of the red carpet event at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, accompanied by the caption: “Katy Perry. That’s all.”

Fans responded to Perry’s Instagram post, confessing they had been deceived by the image.

“I actually reposted this, thinking it was real,” one fan admitted, while another commented, “Hold on, this is AI-generated?! I fell for it.”

The “Firework” singer also posted a screenshot of a conversation with her mother, who also fell for the image.

“lol mom, the AI tricked you too, WATCH OUT!” Perry joked in a message.

Another AI-generated image of the singer, adorned in a shimmering gold corset gown featuring a breastplate shaped like a key, has gained viral traction on the red carpet, amassing over 5 million views. This ensemble perfectly aligned with the 2024 theme, “The Garden of Time,” inspired by a short story depicting a Count and Countess who harvest flowers capable of reversing time.

Why does this carry significance? This isn’t a political race; it’s the red carpet. However, it sheds light on the increasing persuasiveness of AI-generated content. It’s reached a point where even Katy Perry’s mother was fooled.

The unmistakable indicators persist: a photographer with half a head missing, questionable fingers on another, and a carpet straight out of 2018. Yet, it somehow represents an improvement over some of the other AI-generated images that have gained viral attention.

But the stakes can escalate significantly.

In recent months, I’ve delved into the creation and dissemination of AI-generated images portraying former US President Donald Trump with black voters, some satirical and others not, circulated by his supporters in anticipation of the election.

I’ve also examined the propagation of fabricated AI-generated audio purportedly capturing London’s Mayor, which, sounding eerily authentic, exacerbated tensions offline. It falsely suggested that he was rescheduling Remembrance Day ceremonies to accommodate a pro-Palestinian march.

These manipulative tactics will continue to infiltrate our social media feeds in the coming months, underscoring the importance of honing our skills in social media sleuthing.

A digitally-created image of Rihanna has garnered millions of views on social media. In the picture, she is seen walking the red carpet adorned in an intricately embroidered gown, featuring motifs of flora and fauna, alongside an oversized circular accessory on her arm.

People reported that the 36-year-old had to miss the event due to falling ill with the flu.

At the start of the evening, counterfeit images of Dua Lipa began circulating, depicting her wearing an off-shoulder corseted gown adorned with fringe and a bow, seemingly at a different venue than the event.

Later on, the 28-year-old British-Albanian singer arrived at the event donning a completely different attire – an all-black lace dress accessorized with sparkling belly chains, sheer polka-dot gloves, and a large black feather boa draped over her shoulder.

The yearly charity gala attracts top-tier celebrities and influential figures from the fashion industry, with hosts including Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny, alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour. This event aims to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with tickets reportedly priced at over $70,000 (£56,000).

The picture was so convincing that she thought it was real and even shared it with her friends, only to find out later that it was completely fake. It’s a wild reminder of how advanced technology can be, and also a cautionary tale to always double-check before sharing something online. It’s a good thing that Katy and her mom have a sense of humor about it, but it just goes to show that even the most well-intentioned posts can sometimes lead to some funny mix-ups.
