Katy Perry has gone viral after an AI-made photo of her attending the Met Gala even managed to confuse her own mother.
In light of this, Perry issued a new post on Instagram to clear up any confusion about whether or not she would be attending the iconic fashion event.
As well as captioning the post, “couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work”, the singer and pop icon also shared a private message exchange between her and her mother. The messages revealed that these AI photos had even managed to fool her own family.

In the screenshot of their conversation, Katy Perry reveals her mom texted her daughter, “I didn’t know you went to the Met,” before adding that her daughter looks “like a Rose parade, you are your own float lol.”
Perry’s mother then shared a photo of what she thought was a real image of her daughter, yet Katy was quick to reply and let her mother know that it was not real.
“Lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!”
The main deep fake to have gone viral of Katy Perry has already amassed more than10 million viewson X (formerly known as Twitter) and over 300,000 likes. However, the post has now been flagged as being a “fake” image after blowing up online.

Therefore, it’s safe to say Katy’s own mother wasn’t the only one to fall for the AI-generated content.
