The KarJenners Seemingly Respond to Rumored AI Promo Images in ‘The Kardashians’ Season 8 Intro

The Kardashians season 8 premiere opened with the family seemingly globe-trotting from St. Tropez to Switzerland, but the luxurious footage was entirely AI-generated, showcasing their glamorous lifestyle through artificial means.When the sisters gathered at their Calabasas home, they encountered AI versions of themselves with bizarre glitches, like Kylie sprouting a tail, leading to a comedic confrontation over whether they were artificial.The playful intro seemed to be a cheeky response to fan criticism about potential AI-generated promo images showing unnaturally perfect smiles.The Kardashians season 8 intro proves that the KarJenners certainly know how to make an entrance.In the first few minutes of season 8’s first episode, the famous family is seen jet-setting around the world. Kris Jenner lived it up in St. Tropez, Kourtney Kardashian hung out with Travis Barker in Japan, Khloé Kardashian mingled with sexy tour guides in Kenya, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner partied in Versailles, and Kim Kardashian chilled at a ski chalet in Switzerland. Or…so we think.^^^ All of that footage of the family was actually AI-generated, though it could very well be something the Kardashians would do IRL.The big reveal came when they all gathered at their home base in Calabasas, and each sister had weird issues with their appearance. For instance, I never thought I’d see our girl Kylie grow a full tail—but here we are!HuluThe artificial KarJenners stand face-to-face with the real deal.The girls were then faced with virtual versions of themselves, prompting the real Kim to ask, “Wait a minute, are we AI? Have we been AI this whole time?”AI Kris then made a case for the technology, saying, “Honestly, sweeties, we think you guys are great, but AI is much easier. We don’t have scheduling conflicts, no glam is necessary, and we can cry on cue without messing up our makeup.”Then, the OG Kris seemingly slammed AI usage, saying, “I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, but this real family — real family — cannot be replaced.”Not only is the season 8 intro a little bizarre, but it comes after fans questioned and criticized the KarJenners for seemingly using AI in the promo images for the show’s new episodes.In the photo, each member of the family is seen smiling with all their teeth—something we haven’t seen in a minute, since these girls love to serve face.“Love the kardashians but why does this poster look so AI?” one person asked in the comments section of Hulu’s promo pic. Another asked, “Are the smiles ai? Lmao” as someone else chimed in, “I immediately zoomed in bc I’m thinking the same thing.”It’s unclear whether the promo image was modified by AI, but it seems that The Kardashians season 8 intro is basically one big wink at the rumors. Which is…interesting, since Kim previously admitted to using ChatGPT while studying for the bar.
