No993 Archives that's not Katy Perry dripping in a dress made of thick, oily liquid. In fact, Katy Perry wasn't even at the Met Gala last night, and that photo, realistic as it may have been for the thousands who reposted it, was created entirely by artificial intelligence.

In response, Perry posted the edit to her Instagram and captioned it, "couldn’t make it to the MET, I’m on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️) P.s. this year I was actually with my mom so she’s safe from the bots but I’m praying for the rest of y’all."
"Not once but twice 😂," her longtime partner, Orlando Bloom, commented under the photo. "still got it 🔥"
But despite Perry very clearly not being there, the internet fell for it. And it's kind of fair — there were multiple angles of the AI look, and even an AI-generated sketch of the outfit made to look like a custom dress illustration.

This isn't the first time someone used AI to edit Perry into a dress for the Met Gala. Last year, the same thing happened, and she (once again) posted the edited images to her Instagram and captioned them, "couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work."
Please, I'm begging you, stop falling for AI — it's only going to get more convincing.
