Viral images showing Elon Musk’s humanoid wives are AI-generated

Hyderabad: A series of images are doing the rounds on social media with the claim that they show Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s robot wives.

The caption reads, “Elon Musk announces the future wife who is she? It is the first Robot that has been manufacturing the specially designed with artificial intelligence with the personality and characteristics of the female that he dreams of... Which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications. Catnilla works with solar energy without charging, it is equipped with sensory means that makes her feel sad and happy and she has a balanced and interactive mindset .... So she can share it if she is in a crisis or the feelings that she is experiencing or needs when she is exposed to any psychological stress.”

It further adds, “The post is to clarify the dangers of artificial intelligence in the coming period, especially after Tesla company released the first integrated robot Optimus. Guys this guy is not a human this is out of the world.”

FACT CHECK

NewsMeter found the claim to be false.

We performed a keyword search to find credible reports about Elon Musk and his robotic wives but could not find any.

We further checked Elon Musk’s social media pages but could not find the viral images there as well.

On performing a reverse image search, we found similar images uploaded on Instagram by a user named art_is_2_inspire on 4 May 2023. The caption read, “Original Creator of “Elon introduces Electrical Side Piece.””

We also found the rest of the images on an AI creator’s Twitter handle, acknowledging the images as AI-generated.

Lastly, the distorted hands and other features of the female in the viral images clearly indicate that the viral images are AI-generated.

Hence, the post is false.
