      “Wow, I wonder what will happen when we stop paying people to do jobs and let AI handle it?”

      More importantly, which error came first?

      Tom Francis first, someone is high

      Anthony Mackie first, then Tom Francis was a planned error 😂😂😂

      Is there a chance this was purposely done for engagement? Like cmon. Variety definitely knows which celebrities are who.

      When a human did this job, correctly identifying celebs on a red carpet probably mattered a lot their job security.

      Sigh.

      Are they doing this for engagement because wtf. Or like someone else said, AI replacing humans

      Without reading the post title, I thought I just didn’t recognize JAW cos I’ve only seen him in varying stages of undress over the last couple years.

      So real people probably lost their jobs so that AI could misidentify celebrities on a red carpet! Fun timez!

      I would bet they had a series of pre-made templates for each of the expected guests. And then a kid (or kids) running it that don’t know who ANY of these people are.

      Welcome to staffing in 2026. Even with these stakes, they won’t care. They saved $20 an hour plus benefits, and all it cost was their dignity. What an amazing time for Hollywood.

      First one I can see but the second one??? They don’t even look alike, this is just racist

      Don’t know who Tom Francis is but I’d like to thank Variety’s incompetence for helping me realize he looks like the love-child of Jeremy Allen White and Alan Tudyk

      I did think that was Jeremy Allen White ngl lol the other one is crazy though, literally just two obviously different people lol
