Totally fake, this image of Pope Francis in an oversized puffer jacket is taking social media by storm. Average trip
The image of the sovereign pontiff in an impeccable oversized jacket has been awe-inspiring among social media users for several days. Perfectly realistic, it was actually created from scratch by artificial intelligence.
For once out of the ordinary, the new outfit that’s taking the Internet by storm isn’t the handiwork of a Hollywood celebrity or model on the scene. In recent days, it is indeed the image of Pope Francis wearing an XXL jacket that has been widely shared on social media. Wrapped in soft, flawless buns and crucifixes around his neck in the style of the American rapper, the sovereign pontiff appears in a series of shots in which he wears quilted jackets of various cuts, each one larger than the other.
In the video, Pope Francis welcomed Macron’s couple.
Worthy of photos taken on the fringes of fashion weeks, the look on Instagram users is associated with the fashionable term “drop”, synonymous with “swag” or “cool”. From American slang, it usually compliments the rappers sharp style. “Holy Cold” (“Holy drop“), “Pope Francis has a serious feeling”. (“Pope Francis has suffered a serious stroke“), “Pope really fines sinners” (“The Pope is really falling for you sinners”) can be read online. But if the enthusiasm is very real, the clichés are not. Pope Francis never wore these jackets.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the papacy
Indeed, we owe this vision of the Pope not to the paparazzi, but to the artificial intelligence software Midjourney, we learn from Forbes magazine. Technology as accurate as it is easy to access. To create a visual, simply log into the Midjourney Discord online forum and enter a “hint,” that is, an instruction in the form of a series of keywords. In other words, a few words were enough to give birth to this stylish version of Pope Francis. The tool created this image from scratch, which was then posted on the US Reddit forum before flooding Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. And to make the sovereign pontiff a fashion icon in social networks, as if by a miracle.
