Nicole Kidman's British Vogue cover sparks an "Is this AI?" debate online · firstpost.com

A famous actress named Nicole Kidman is on the front of a big fashion magazine called British Vogue.

When people saw the pictures online, many thought she looked very different from before.

Some people wondered if a computer made the pictures instead of a camera.

They compared the shiny, perfect look to pictures made by artificial intelligence.

But nobody has shown any proof that a computer made the photos.

Magazine pictures are often touched up a little to make them look nicer.

The actress also had very unusual make-up and hair for the photos.

Some other famous actors wrote nice comments about the pictures.

The magazine has not said anything about people's questions.

This happens because people are getting used to seeing computer-made pictures that look almost real.
