Instagram Account Labels AI Ryan Gosling Image After Eva Mendes Calls It Fake

Summary
An Instagram account edited its caption to label an AI-generated Comic-Con image after Eva Mendes commented "FAKE" and urged it to tell people when posts use AI.
The image, posted by @opavisions, showed Ryan Gosling walking with Johnny Depp in costume at San Diego Comic-Con, but the original caption apparently did not disclose it was artificial.
The account then apologized directly to Mendes — "DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS AI***" — and said it would be clearer going forward.
Gosling had appeared at Comic-Con on July 25 to unveil his casting as Ghost Rider in the MCU, while Depp was promoting Ti West's upcoming film "Ebenezer."
Mendes' intervention drew praise on social media, where users called the unlabeled images misleading and criticized so-called "AI slop."
