Why the Met Gala singer didn’t wear a photo of her dress on the theme, and how to stop looking for visual clues in Artificial Intelligence-generated images

But for now — and as always — keeping your guard up is key. The expert tips on how to spot and avoid Artificial Intelligence-generated images can be found here.

Concerns about the use of artificial intelligence to deceive users may bring in more help from social media platforms. Meta said earlier this year that it would start labeling AI-generated images on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, beginning in May.

The images of a fire at the Pentagon that was created in an artificial intelligence manner remind him of that. In the case of both instances people should be asking themselves why there are no other photos or videos of this event in a populated area, rather than whether or not they can spot the Artificial Intelligence glitch in the photo.

A few minutes after this first photo of the singer was uploaded, another came along showing her in a bronze-colored corset and a floral skirt, which was in perfect Xena style. An outfit that could not go unnoticed, if it had actually been worn at the event. We don’t know how to know that this is an image not a shot. They didn’t have someone attend the event. Still, tweets containing images of the singer immediately went viral on X, so much so that the pop star herself liked them.

internet watchers would be forgiven for assuming that she was at the Met Gala on Monday, because she is a regular attendee and famous for dressing on-theme.

He said when he ran both Perry images through a widely-used detector, the flower dress came back as “likely human” and the corset as “likely AI generated.” He also discourages people from looking for visual clues in these kinds of images, saying that can “lead down a rabbit hole of unproductive forensic skepticism.”

He said that his first point was not to trust the online detectors, as there were too many variables to decide if they gave an accurate result.

The Witness explains how the Met Gala turned into a “Garden of Time,” and why she wore an elaborate ball gown dressed in flowers and butterflies

Sam Gregory of the Witness encourages people to rely on context and intuition in situations like this one.

AI-generated images are increasingly easy to make, and celebrity deep fakes are increasingly prevalent — from sexually explicit deep fakes of Taylor Swift circulating earlier this year to robocalls imitating President Biden ahead of the New Hampshire primary.

And before the gala, photos circulated of Dua Lipa wearing bangs and a corset, only for her to show up on the carpet with crimson hair and an all-black ensemble — and for an X user to point out the early photos were from a 2021 Vogue shoot.

In fact, Perry wasn’t the only star to be basically photoshopped onto the Met Gala red carpet: A viral X post claimed to show an elaborately dressed Rihanna in attendance, when she was actually home sick with the flu. There are some who claim to have a show for Lady Gaga.

The biggest names in entertainment, fashion and music descended on New York City for Monday’s “Garden of Time”-themed Met Gala, dressed in flowers, sparkles and extravagant watches.

“Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” the singer posted on Instagram, alongside a video of herself singing in the studio — as well as two photos seemingly showing her at the gala.

A picture of an elaborate ball gown covered in flowers and butterflies was snapped by a person at the Met. In the second photograph,Perry is wearing a metallic corset top with a large key handle down the middle and a short skirt of flowers and leaves, her hair straight and tousled.

The photos — whose exact origin is unclear — made a splash on X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier in the night, as viewers at home refreshed their feeds and weighed in on their favorite celebrity fits.

There was a note at the bottom explaining that the ball gown picture was created with artificial intelligence and that it had over 300,000 likes and nearly 70,000 reposts. Another post, of the corset outfit, garnered over 100,000 likes and was eventually labeled “digitally created.”

Comments on a text conversation between the singer and an image of the singer in a dress decorated with three-dimensional floral appliqués

Mary Hudson thought so as well. There was a text conversation between the two in one of the posts in the singer’s carousel.

In a post that was published on X this morning, and is now counted at nearly fifteen million views, a picture was of the singer wearing a dress decorated with three-dimensional floral appliqués. Community note attached to post makes it clear that the image is not real.

Generative artificial intelligence is a tool that can easily allow the creation and distribution of all kinds of images, and this is the reason why. The Met Gala was an obvious candidate for its use—especially considering that it allowed fans to dress up stars like Katy Perry and Rihanna in the outfits of their choosing.
