She addressed the public with her AI-generated images, which are circulated all over social media platforms.
Billie Eilish’s Response to Criticism
The 23 year old artist responded to her ‘fake’ images that went viral. She came live on her Instagram to clarify the confusion and unnecessary hate conspired against her. According to her, she hasn’t even attended the Met Gala this year due to her previous commitments with her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. She commented back to the audience that her AI images are being generated and circulated all over the internet which is quite unethical.
On Wednesday, 14 May 2025, Billie came live on Instagram and commented back on the criticism she has faced on her ‘not even real Met Gala look of May 5, 2025.’ She was chilling while having an ice cream and responded to her fans’ requests. While ending the session she requested to not spread hate towards her especially when she had not even attended the said event on the evening of May 5, 2025.
Billie Eilish was in Amsterdam performing her prestige albums on the stage in front of thousands of fans. She enjoyed her evening well that day rather than attending the Met Gala, which she couldn’t make up for due to her scheduled plans and inability to leave her professional duties. The AI images depicted Billie in the ‘Tailored for You’ theme black outfit. The netizens bashed those images, criticizing Billie Eilish’s outfit choice, and the fit wasn’t great.

Other Musicians’ Views on the AI-Generated Images
The generative AI has boomed in today’s world. But its advantages often neglect the threat and private invasions it help to make. Not only Billie Eilish, but many other actors and musicians have faced this issue and addressed it several times through their social media handles.
Few musicians raised their voice against the unethical use of AI by the public, who use their facial identity and voice to generate images and voice notes which sometimes spread fake news over the internet. This negatively impact the image of the concerned artist.
While some artists despise the idea of usage of AI, some artists support the development in AI technology saying that it makes our day to day life easier in numerous ways.
The same instance of this AI made image happened with Katy Perry. She was also on her “The Lifetimes Tour” when the internet went crazy over her look on the Met Gala red carpet. She, too, had to refer all her fans to calm down and clarified that she hasn’t attended the Met Gala this year. Perry even passed a joke that, as she is close to her mother right now, she won’t be fooled by the AI images circulated all over the internet. Although she wished her fans good luck for their failed attempts to identify her real photographs. Her humorous response took back the crazy comments on her fake Met Gala appearance on the theme “Tailored for You.”

Conclusion
AI has helped us in countless ways to make our tasks easier, but it comes with certain drawbacks. AI, when used for a negative purpose like generating fake images and circulating them all over the internet, is quite dangerous. The fun of making irrelevant images might be fun for those people, but its consequences are borne by concerned personalities. This act is called an act of invasion of privacy. Under the law, every citizen has a right to privacy, even public figures. Taking fun with their identity through AI is not at all justifiable. The reactions of celebrities to such news are highly acceptable and justified. People need to be more sensitive towards their privacy and emotions as well.
