What do the photos show?

At first glance, the photos look pretty realistic. They show a smiling Zendaya and Tom in their wedding outfits and the couple exchanging vows – all against a background that looks like Lake Como.

Photos shared by a creator called AK on X on 4 March also appeared to show Robert Downey Jr, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Jake Gyllenhaal at the wedding. This post has had 102,000 likes.

Digital creator Juan Regueira Rodriguez posted a photo dump of wedding day images on Instagram, one of them showing “Tom” holding a Spider Man mask. It’s had 11 million likes so far and more than 16,000 comments.

The caption says the images have been created with AI as an “artistic recreation” but some people appear to have been fooled and have commented to say congratulations. Others have been less impressed and said they can’t believe an AI image has had so many likes. One of these comments on Instagram said: “AI slop getting 10 million likes… what has the world come to”.

Some have remarked on how it can be difficult to tell the difference between AI and real photos as technology advances. One person questioned: “It’s real?” while another wrote: “Can’t tell if it’s AI”.
