Overview
- An Opavisions Instagram post that showed Ryan Gosling, Johnny Depp and the account character Slopaxo together at San Diego Comic-Con was generated by AI and did not initially say so.
- Eva Mendes commented “FAKE” on the post on Sunday and urged the account to disclose AI use, after which Opavisions apologized, added a disclaimer and disabled comments.
- Both Depp and Gosling did attend Comic-Con that weekend for separate projects, which made the fabricated image more believable despite the two never appearing together.
- The episode highlights how convincing AI imagery can mislead viewers when creators omit clear labeling and how quick public corrections from people close to subjects can force accountability.
- Opavisions is known for computer-generated scenes featuring Slopaxo with celebrities, and the incident renews questions about platform rules and creator practices for marking synthetic media.
