Katy Perry's Mother Mistakenly Believed AI-Generated Images of Singer at Met Gala

Katy Perry did not go to the Met Gala on Monday. However, some of her fans, including her mom, mistakenly believed that she did.

Images of Katy Perry appearing to be at the event were shared on X. These images were actually generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

The fake photos included Perry dressed in looks that fit the Met Gala’s garden theme this year.

Perry reposted the AI-created pictures on her own Instagram.

“Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” she wrote.

Perry also included a text from her mom, who complimented her on her gown.

Her mom commented on the photo, saying how beautiful Feather looked in her gown, comparing her to the Rose Parade. Feather jokingly replied, warning her mom about the AI.

Perry has worn over-the-top Met Gala looks in the past, including an appearance in 2019 when she dressed as a chandelier.

Editor's P/S:

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate fake images of celebrities attending events raises concerns about the potential for misinformation and the blurring of reality. The incident involving Katy Perry highlights how easily AI-created content can be mistaken for genuine, even by close family members. This underscores the need for critical thinking and media literacy in the digital age.

Furthermore, the fact that Perry reposted the AI-generated images on her own Instagram, albeit with a humorous caption, suggests that celebrities may not be fully aware of the potential consequences of endorsing AI-created content. It is crucial for public figures to be responsible in their use of social media and to ensure that they are not inadvertently contributing to the spread of misinformation.
