The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen people using the technology for all the wrong reasons, including creating fake images of celebrities and other popular people. LSU star Angel Reese is one of the recent victims, and she took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday to register her displeasure over nude photos of her that went viral on the internet.

The 21-year-old college basketball star in her initial post made it clear those AI nude photos of her being circulated on social media are fake. “Creating fake AI pictures of me is crazy and weird AF!” she wrote in her first post.

In a follow-up post, Reese stated that though she’s aware of her nice looks and being supposedly appealing to others as a result, she said she would never post her nudes on social media.

“Like i know im fine & seem to have an appeal to some but im literally 21 and yall doing this bs when i would neverrrrrr,” she wrote.

Reese’s fans rallied behind her in her replies, with a user telling her, “Prepare yo mental for it! Focus on your goal! Ignore the Internet.” Another user also said that is “another reason why generative AI is extremely dangerous.”

“The devil will come in many forms, spaces, and places to disrupt your peace,” another told her. “The things you can’t control just know God already took care of that for you. God is faithful. Stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. 10 toes down!”

Reese’s response to the fake images comes as she and the LSU Tigers gear up for March Madness. LSU, who are the defending champions, will play against Rice in their first game of this season’s tournament

Reese is also currently averaging 19 points and 13 rebounds.
