The Verge AI · rss · 2026-10-15
The Verge reports on celebrity AI deepfakes: @miagoth, a blue-checkmarked Instagram account with over a million followers, posted a fake image of actress Mia Goth days after she filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf, complete with a pointed T-shirt message and Beyoncé's "Single Ladies".
- The account's verified badge gave it false credibility as the image spread rapidly
- The piece argues verification no longer signals authenticity and no celebrity is safe from deepfakes
