Sydney Sweeney has come face-to-face with what AI can do and didn’t seem to enjoy it very much.
During the presentation, they cut to Sweeney, who was in attendance for the panel, and revealed they’d used her portrait to make an AI image. They then show an AI-generated portrait of Sweeney, which has a cartoony look.
It is immediately apparent that Sweeney doesn’t know how to react to what’s happening. Though she smiles and refers to the image as “amazing,” fans on social media were quick to point out that she looks incredibly uncomfortable.

“That’s an uncomfortable spot to be put on,” one fansaid, while anotheradded, “This feels like a scene out ofThe Boys.”
Others are just pointing out that the AI image is pretty awful, even by the standards of AI images. As one fansaid, “I think the fact that it looks like generic Disney princess #2473 and not Sydney Sweeney says a lot about how these AIs are trained.”
“I’m sorry, no one in the world would see this AI image as Sydney Sweeney, how is this a showcase demonstration???” anothersaid.
