AI-generated Pope Francis costumes are going viral – the tech

Pictures of Pope Francis wearing an elegant “bouffant” coat instead of a short dress went viral on the Internet on Saturday (3/25). The look was created by a new technical character designer that has been stealing the spotlight: artificial intelligence (AI).

On social networks, the record divided opinions, mainly from those who did not understand that everything is nothing more than a simulation of algorithms. While some profiles poke fun at the aesthetic, others claim he “introduced” style with modern pieces and accessories.

Scary technology

The abundance of detail in the images, which look very real, while surprising, scare users on Twitter. The profiles highlight that as artificial intelligence develops, the real can easily be confused with the fictional, being disseminated as fact.
“Image artificial intelligence is absurdly evolving. Many profiles and news portals publish this “photo” of Pope Francis as a real thing, and in fact, if it weren’t for the hand and the cross, it would be very difficult to distinguish between artificial intelligence or the real one. But yes, it is fake. says a user on his Twitter profile.

Others pointed to the state of health in which the religious is found. The Pope has not appeared in public often, as he needs a wheelchair to get around.
