This fake Mads Mikkelsen picture proves AI is getting scarily realistic

Fake AI Mads Mikkelsen fan picture posted by Aya Bochman on X.

Recently, the internet was ablaze with envy after a woman bumped into actor Mads Mikkelsen while celebrating her birthday. Sharing the celebrity snap online, she noted that Mads was celebrating his 60th – a coincidence that sounded too good to be true. Well, that's because it was, and AI is to blame.

Whether we like it or not, AI slop is all over the internet, and s**t's getting real. Gone are the days of extra fingers and uncanny faces; today's AI creations are getting more refined by the second, fooling social media with worrying ease. While there are undoubtedly ways to use AI properly, it's hard not to feel a little existential.
