An AI-generated image of Pope Francis darting in a large white coat has gone viral on social media, shocking and confusing viewers.
Created by an AI (artificial intelligence) image generator, this image shows the head of the Catholic Church wearing a long, impeccable coat over a traditional white robe, with a cross hanging from a chain around his chest. .
As more realistic images of AI-powered celebrities flood the internet, many social media users, including Chrissy Teigen, have expressed confusion over whether this fashion photo is real or fake.
In recent days, fake images of former US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, actor Will Smith, and others have been created and posted on social media.
In response to the image of the Pope, Teigen tweeted, “I thought the Pope’s jacket was real and thought nothing of it.” It’s impossible to survive in the future of technology.”
“It’s time to ban AI,” declared one Twitter user. I believed the photo of the Pope in a puffer jacket. I feel like a WhatsApp auntie now.”
Others expressed concern about the realism of the images and how AI might affect people’s perceptions.
“The fact that people find the picture of the Pope in a long jacket evocative is a good indicator that AI will find it very easy to destroy humanity,” one person wrote. .
Lucy Caldwell, a U.S. tech executive and political adviser, said, “I want to tell the PSA that the image circulating today of the Pope in a white jacket that has touched the hearts of many is not real. Please tell me,” he added. ”
“And in conclusion, now that AI is here, we need to act quickly to discern what is real and what is not.”
An AI-generated image recently circulated on social media showing Trump in prison wearing an orange jumpsuit as the former president is under criminal investigation.
This was after Trump predicted he would be arrested. The fake image has raised concerns among lawmakers and experts that it could spread harmful misinformation.
