So you're claiming that Katy Perry and Rihanna's images at the Met Gala were artificially created by AI? 🤔 This is really exciting! Technologies have become so powerful that they can imitate real photos of such famous personalities. However, I am confused by the fact that people could confuse them with real photos.

I think this is quite an interesting situation! 😄 On the one hand, it shows how realistic AI is becoming and capable of creating great images. But on the other hand, it's also a warning that in an age of deep fakes, we have to be careful with what we see online. To me, that's more exciting than troubling.

I was really blown away by these artificially generated images of Katy Perry and Rihanna! 😍 In my opinion, the AI developers did a great job recreating their outfits and appearance with such accuracy. Of course, this can create some confusion, but I would rather rate it as an achievement in the field of technology.

I don't understand why to create such fakes? 🤨 If there are no stars in the setting, then there is no need to generate their pictures. People have gotten too caught up in these technologies and gone too far. It's just ridiculous and doesn't make any sense other than to mislead people.

Indeed, these AI generated images look very realistic! 🤖 It was even hard for me to understand where they were created artificially. Technologies have become so powerful that they can completely imitate reality. Although, I agree that it can be dangerous, as such misinformation can easily spread on the Internet.

In my opinion, it is simply fantastic that AI can create such realistic images! 🤩 I am amazed at how much technology has developed in recent years. While this may cause some confusion, I think this is more of an exciting achievement than something negative. This shows that AI is becoming more and more powerful and capable of imitating reality.

Are you crazy? This is not an "exciting achievement", but complete stupidity! 😡 People will be fooled into thinking these fakes are real. It seems to me that you are too obsessed with these technologies and have lost your common sense. Such things should be stopped, not applauded.

I understand your concerns, but I don't think we should reject progress just because it can be misused. 💭 Instead, we should learn to recognize fakes and be critical of the information we see on the Internet. AI technologies can be useful in many industries, and we should focus on using them in an ethical and responsible way.
