Real Sridevi Pics vs AI Fakes: How Clickbait Is Burying the Truth Online

 

This image of Sridevi on the left is fake - and used on a book cover/book promotion that deserves no further mention. 

The real pics are here in the archive. Note the difference?! 

AI apps and synthetic manipulation of the actress's original portraits are insidiously encroaching across all social media platforms - not just Sridevi's but Aishwarya Rai's, Rani Mukherjee's Madhuri Dixit's... any actress in the public discourse. Currently, there are more "real" pictures of Sridevi online, but by the end of the year—unless serious action is taken against the proliferation of falsehoods using celebrities' likenesses—there will be more fake pictures than real ones online. The repercussions and tragedy lie in the truth being squandered away for clickbait. 

And that's all for today's soap box rant. More to come...
