Katy Perry Debunks AI-Generated Photos from the 2024 Met Gala

In this post:

  • Katy Perry called out AI-made pictures of herself at the 2024 Met Gala in an array of elaborate, described as “forest-themed” dresses on Instagram.
  • With the growing skill set of AI software, people can now simulate high-resolution shots that seem very real and blur the boundaries between authentic and artificial. 
  • AI images get more and more impossible to identify as fake, and as they do this, verifying authenticity becomes a substantial problem.

Some viral pictures have been going around social media of Katy Perry from Met Gala 2024, generated by AI, while the actual pop sensation has been kept away from this A-list event this year. 

Katy Perry called out AI-made pictures of herself at the 2024 Met Gala in an array of elaborate, described as “forest-themed” dresses on Instagram, though she didn’t actually attend the high-profile fashion event.  Although the singer wasn’t present at the high-profile fashion event, it didn’t take long for the AI-made pictures to go viral across all social media platforms.

In a screenshot shared by Perry, her mother had been fooled by the realistic-looking AI renderings, texting, “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float.” The singer sassily replied, “Lol, Mom, the AI got you too, BEWARE!”

AI imagery mimics reality

With the growing skill set of AI software, people can now simulate high-resolution shots that seem very real and blur the boundaries between authentic and artificial. For instance, this case is a perfect example of the ways in which this technology allows the dissemination of falsehoods and confusing messaging. Apart from that, AI photo editing tools can open creative avenues, too, but they raise ethical questions like no permissions and the fabrication of events that never took place. With the photos appearing genuine to some viewers, the AI system would show how digital reality can be smartly fabricated.

Nevertheless, this picture, which had more than 7 million views on X, was not taken from a real place but manufactured. In short, the AI-generated image has not yet premiered on the Met Gala red carpet, and moreover, the background carpet in the image can be traced back to 2018. 

Under this post’s comment section, many people confessed to falling for the fake image of the artist. “Not me falling for this AI edit at first,” one person wrote, while another said: No, that doesn’t make sense. 

Strangely, the defaulter used the AI image frenzy to jab her upcoming comeback music. She stated, her new single which we can look forward to soon, is the “single biggest” for her yet, and yet all the details remain undisclosed. This song will be the first single from the singer, following her earlier album ‘Smile’ of 2020 that the critics gave less favorable reviews.Under this post’s comment section many people confessed to falling for the fake out image of the artist. 

The AI-generated content dilemma

AI images get more and more impossible to identify as fake, and as they do this, verifying authenticity becomes a substantial problem. Celebrities such as Perry could find themselves anywhere from being virtually placed into phony scenarios without prior consent to ending up as fodder for deepfakes. It is both true and false that AI can liberate creativity limitlessly, but it can bewitch feigners by fabricating make-believe worlds that are no different from the truth.
