The technique is called generative AI, a technique to generate photos which appear to be real but are fake.

In one example, a person who was dismissed from a job used an online TikTok identity completly different than the person's real life identity.

Other examples of the use of AI illustrate an extremely large horse amongst a group of people, a religious figure in a puffer jacket and and the same religious figure riding a skateboard.
There is a surrealistic photo of a living piece of fried chicken and lizard wearing a tutu.

Why stop at pictures. I mentioned in a comment on this site about singers "singing" songs they have never sung.
Could you imagine the following artists singing Flo Rida's "Apple Bottom Jeans" also known as "Low":
Louis Armstrong
The Beach Boys
Frank Sinatra
Luciano Pavarotti
Simon and Garfunkel

These also sound convincing. With the same backing track, Frank Sinatra and Paul Anka singing Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Even Bugs Bunny convincingly singing Dean Martin's "On An Evening In Roma,"

Similarly Daffy Duck singing Billy Joe's "Piano Man"

As the author mentioned the photos can be hit-and-miss, the same could be said about AI song covers.
