GoKawiilX accounts use AI to fake shirtless photos of celebrities from paparazzi images
Accounts on X, including ones called 'UKViewTime' and 'BiTheWay,' have been altering real paparazzi photographs to make male celebrities appear shirtless, then posting the AI-edited images as genuine. Targets identified include Callum Turner, Noah Schnapp, Sheridan Townsley, Harry Styles, Knox Jolie-Pitt and Brad Pitt, with original images confirming the men were actually clothed.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The practice raises consent concerns since the altered images are presented as authentic depictions of real people without their involvement, and it suggests engagement-driven incentives on X may be encouraging deceptive AI edits for virality. It also points to a broader challenge platforms face in moderating synthetic media that blurs the line between real and fabricated imagery.
- Multiple X accounts are using AI to add fake shirtless, muscular bodies to real paparazzi photos of male celebrities.
- Targets include Callum Turner, Noah Schnapp, Sheridan Townsley, Harry Styles, Knox Jolie-Pitt and Brad Pitt.
- Original photos confirm the subjects were fully clothed, indicating the images are nonconsensual AI fabrications posted for engagement.
