“I use AI to facilitate the editing process, adding texture to the skin and striving for the most realistic outcome possible,” he told ABC News.
“I also incorporate real images of people, replacing their faces with Katy Perry’s. Katy’s face is finalized using editing software to ensure seamless integration,” Sali added.
“My work involves AI, but most of the time, it’s just to touch up details and make things a bit more realistic.”
“AI isn’t as advanced as people think. It struggles. It’s not like you can just write a prompt and it generates an image of Katy Perry, it’s not like that.”
