Actress Mia Goth says it’s ‘incomprehensible’ that Instagram allowed an AI image of her to spread

Earlier this month, an Instagram post from the verified fan account miagoth_ appeared to show actress Mia Goth wearing a T-shirt that read "MY EX IS MY BIGGEST FAN" amid news of her divorce from Shia LaBeouf. The post, set to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and was reported on by outlets like People and OK! as if it were real. However, Goth's representatives told The Verge that the image was AI-generated and that they had repeatedly asked Instagram to remove the account. They expressed dismay that the fan account had a blue checkmark, which many users still associate with authenticity, and said it was "incomprehensible" that Instagram would prioritize the spread of manipulated images over protecting a public figure's likeness. Meta, which sells verification badges and labels some AI-generated content but not still images, did not respond to a request for comment, and the miagoth_ account appears to have been removed from Instagram as of Tuesday morning. The incident highlights broader concerns among entertainers about AI misuse of their likenesses.
