Recently, a post on Instagram from an account named ‘Stelfiatt’ caused quite an uproar. A photo was shared showcasing an artist’s picture as he was battling against Muhammad Ali. The level of realism was so high that it left many people questioning if it was an AI creation or just a skillful use of photo editing. The discussion became heated, with some individuals strongly believing it was AI-generated, while others thought it was just a savvy application of Photoshop.
The picture showed the artist getting punched by Muhammad Ali, and it was so realistic that it looked like it could have been taken straight from a movie set. The artist’s face was contorted in a way that was almost unrecognizable, while Ali’s face did look a bit out of place. The picture sparked a lot of discussion on social media, with people weighing in on whether it was AI or just photoshop. The artist had fake pictures with several more historical figures.
Fans react to an AI-created picture of Muhammad Ali
Fans have been quick to react to the post, with many expressing their opinions on whether the image is real or not. Some people joked that it was the work of billionaire Jeff Bezos. Given the bald head of the artist, people were quick to compare him with Bezos and ‘Mr. Worldwide’, also known as Pitbull. People also pointed out the flaws with the pictures, as one fan wrote, “Vikings never wore horn helmets….”.
Some people pointed out that the depiction in the picture is accurate. One fan wrote, “In a fight with Muhammad Ali you are definitely the one getting punched!! Accurate”. People also pointed out how Ali’s face looked off in the picture.
Some people joked that Bezos went back in time to capture a selfie. One fan wrote, “Nope, don’t buy it. He built a time machine and took his smartphone to take pics to prove it.”
There were a lot of people who showed their concern with AI taking place of artists. One person wrote, “Using ‘artist’ and ‘AI’ in the same sentence is wild”. One of the biggest YouTube content creators, Pewdiepie, recently addressed these fears and made some comments on this situation.
