While AI-generated celebrity photos may seem innocent and entertaining, they raise important ethical considerations. As AI algorithms rely on huge databases and may use people’s photographs without their authorization, privacy concerns are paramount. Moreover, the production and distribution of these pictures could muddle the boundaries between fact and fiction, leading to false information and misleading tactics.
