The tennis community is not happy with a clearly fake, AI-generated photo of women's tennis star Anna Kalinskaya, that is going viral on social media.

The photo, which surfaced on Facebook, shows the women's tennis star in a very revealing outfit, calling her the most beautiful player in the game.

But the photo is very clearly fake and AI generated. We're seeing more and more of this across social media, with AI generated photos of players, fans, announcers and more.

"It's a plague."

The tennis world is not happy with the photo

"AI is the plague. Or maybe not. Idk. But yeah, 100% AI," one fan wrote.

"I'd rather focus on the game. Their bodies are not for public display," one fan added.

"So wrong," one added.

"Hate this trend. It's offensive to everyone," one shared.

Unfortunately, as AI continues to get better and better, we're probably only going to see more and more of this.

It's important for everyone to be able to recognize what's fake and what's real.
