She said that when she received the poster for the conference, she spotted something different. “I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn’t look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I’ve never noticed…? That’s weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side side and I’m like WTF,” she said in a X post. Take a look at the viral post here: Laraki added that it appeared that the bra was edited onto the photo. “Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. Immediately, I email the conference host. He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue,” she said.

The post, which has over 2 million views, shocked users who were surprised at AI’s ability to police the clothing of a woman in a photo. “Fascinating story. I’ve fed Midjourney identical prompts only swapping out “men” and “women” and the results are always drastically different, sexualizing the images of women nearly always. Interesting mirror to our culture,” shared one user. “The conference is about AI and UX? Bet you’ll have one heck of a talk with this first hand experience with the ways AI can mess up,” suggested another user.
