Katy Perry’s Absence from 2024 Met Gala Fooled Even Her Own Mother, Thanks to AI-Generated Photos
When Katy Perry missed out on the glitz and glamour of the 2024 Met Gala, she likely didn’t expect her own mother to be fooled by fabricated images circulating online. Sharing the AI-enhanced photos of herself supposedly attending the prestigious event on Instagram, Perry revealed her mother’s amusingly confused reaction in a text message.
“Ha Feather! Didn’t know you went to the Met,” Perry’s mother exclaimed in the screenshot, praising her daughter’s stunning attire. Little did she know, the images were entirely artificial, crafted to fit the Met Gala’s theme of “The Garden of Time.”
Setting the record straight, Perry responded to her mother with a playful warning about the deceptive AI creations. Despite the convincing appearance of the photos, Perry clarified in the post’s caption that she was unable to attend the Met Gala due to work commitments.
The creator behind the hyper-realistic AI images, a dedicated Katy Perry fan from Brazil known as Sali, disclosed the intricate process involved in achieving such lifelike results. Combining AI image generation with manual editing techniques, Sali meticulously crafted Perry’s virtual presence at the Met Gala, ensuring every detail was flawlessly integrated.
While Perry’s faux attendance garnered attention, she wasn’t the only celebrity to fall victim to AI manipulation. Similar fabricated photos of stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga circulated on social media, demonstrating the power and potential pitfalls of advanced digital editing technologies.
