Facebook is crawling with AI slop in every flavor. Celebrities of all stripes are often falsely depicted in images and videos on the platform, and Heart are no exception. Ann Wilson is tired of all the fake images of her and her sister Nancy flooding Facebook, creating confusion for some of Heart's fans. So she went on TV to call out Meta, Facebook's parent company.
In an interview on CNN this week, Wilson described getting back onto social media after Heart's tour wrapped up and discovering AI images and headlines she described as "kind of shocking and weird and not true. And some of them were really cruel and brutal." Wilson continued, "I just really didn't like it, and I didn't like the fact that they sort of confuse our fans. They don't know what's real and what's not real."
Wilson said Heart notified their fans of the fakes and flagged them to Meta but got no response. "Nothing's changed," she lamented. "In fact, it just keeps on going toward the worse. It's hard to describe how cruel some of them are." She noted one post of her husband dead in a hospital bed, which fooled his daughter, sparking a concerned phone call to Wilson. She said the fake AI content is also confusing their fans, hurting their ticket sales, and in general negatively impacting Heart's business.
It's undoubtedly tough to police Facebook, but you'd think they could shut down a page like this one that's exclusively posting Heart AI slop designed to provoke reactions over their politics, such as one image of Wilson in a shouting match with Joy Behar on The View. Watch the real Wilson's CNN interview below.
