Amidst the high-voltage drama surrounding the much-anticipated “cage match” between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, a Dogecoin DOGE/USD artist has unleashed a series of beachside snapshots of the iconic tech duo — but with a pinch of salt.
What Happened: A graphic designer associated with Dogecoin has shared some AI-generated images that depict Musk and Zuckerberg enjoying a seemingly carefree day at the beach.
Accompanied by the cryptic caption, “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet,” these images have received massive traction on X, formerly known as Twitter.
These artificially-generated yet seemingly realistic artsy images come when the rivalry between Musk and Zuckerberg appears to be at an all-time high.
It all started in June when Musk proposed a “cage match” challenge, and Zuckerberg responded with “Send me location.”
Their rivalry intensified after Meta introduced Threads, a social media platform dubbed the “Twitter killer.” Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October last year.
Why It’s Important: This isn’t the first time AI-generated yet seemingly realistic images of famous people are doing rounds on social media.
In March this year, a viral AI image of Pope Francis wearing a gigantic white puffer jacket went viral on Reddit and Twitter. The image was created by Midjourney, an artificial intelligence or AI tool that can generate seemingly realistic but fake images.
The AI tool also created images of former U.S. President Donald Trump getting arrested. Trump also shared a fake AI-generated picture of himself kneeling to pray.
