On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay decipher Jim Carrey’s face and the facts to determine if that was really Carrey or not. Despite Carrey’s make-up artist claiming that it was not Carrey but the artist, his publicist clarified that it was indeed Carrey at the award show. Melissa and Scott also dig deeper, explaining how people cannot trust what they see online due to deep fakes, AI, and other forms of deception. They also discuss AI imagery as a form of art and how it is used at The American Spectator. (WATCH: The Spectacle Ep. 350: Here’s What to Look Out for With AI)
