Aaliyah Jay, an OG beauty influencer, has been setting trends for years. Now, she has folks chatting after she hopped on a new trend of adding AI-generated animals to her photos.
AI is here, but not everyone is a fan of it. OG beauty influencer and YouTuber Aaliyah Jay is at the forefront of the latest backlash after adding two AI-generated Dalmatian dogs to her recent photos.
So how did we get here? On Tuesday, November 18, Aaliyah posted two photos to her X account: one original image and one AI-generated. In the original, she wears all black with cherry red boots as she poses on what appears to be a classic New York stoop. In the AI-generated version, Aaliyah added two Dalmatians to accompany her on the steps. She uploaded the photos side by side and asked social media, “Original photo vs. AI animals photo. Which one you like better?”
Aaliyah didn’t hold back in responding to the comments about her pics. She took to X to let folks know she understands users who oppose AI and said she was not aware of the alleged harm it causes within the creative community. But she didn’t stop there. Aaliyah reminded critics that AI not only appears in the photos she created but also powers the very apps they use to share their opinions.
“But yet, you’re on that very same app that’s powered by the same man and his AI tech company, smoking an electronic cigarette somewhere polluting the air and your lungs, with star stickers on your face tryna get puss out those pimples cause you don’t take care of yourself as you use all your screen time on an iPhone.”
From there, Aaliyah Jay ended her lengthy response by telling folks to “get in the field” and “clean up the environment.”
Social media users stepped into The Shade Room Teens comment section with mixed opinions on the matter. See some of the reactions below.
