The Met Gala was filled with florals, and apparently artificial intelligence deepfakes. While many celebrities turned heads with their stunning outfits on the carpet, some caused a stir with AI-generated images of their attendance (made by fans, not by the celebs). Rihanna and Katy Perry’s “pics” went viral, though they weren’t actually present at the event, with their outfits and fake images quickly debunked (the carpet color didn’t even match). Despite the fact that these images were proven to be fake, they still received well over a million views on X, more than some real attendees. (Tech Crunch)
