We are entering a dangerous period in our politics and society, generally, and one can get a taste of it through an antidote about Kimberly Guilfoyle, of all people.

In a very short period of time, it will be functionally impossible to determine which images and videos are real and which are entirely faked by highly sophisticated artificial intelligence.

Imagine the consequences to our politics if Vladamir Putin (Or his friends) created a short video appearing to catch President Biden with his hands on a woman’s buttocks? It would likely take HIGHLY sophisticated computers to invalidate such a video as “fake.”

What does this have to do with Kimberly Guilfoyle?

Well, yes – it would be preferable if all her pictures were faked and she looked like Jennifer Aniston but no A.I. will ever be that good. Regardless, Guilfoyle, like nearly every celebrity, is very careful about making sure most public pictures are carefully edited.

But every once in a while, the fish wiggles off the hook, and you get the real thing, a picture that captures how someone really looks. And let’s just say that when it happens to Kimberly Guilfoyle, it’s not a pretty sight. (To be fair to A.I., most of her edited pictures aren’t particularly pretty, either – which is mean to say, but she’s meaner.)

According to The List:

On April 15, 2024, magazine publisher Chase Backer tagged Guilfoyle in two photos of the pair at a fundraising event for a nonprofit animal rescue. Guilfoyle, who hosted the evening, wore a bright yellow gown, but she looked noticeably different than she does in other photos. Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., is active on her Instagram account and frequently posts photos of herself there. Consequently, there are quite a few photos with which to compare this unedited image. Furthermore, other photos were posted of Guilfoyle at the same event, and they show just how heavily the star’s appearance is usually edited.

You will note in the above photos her neck looks like a normal, 54-year old’s neck:

But when Kimberly has control over the photos, they look a little different, take a look:

Notice the neck?

Same woman, same night, same dress. Just one was released without Kimberly’s approval. And the sad thing is, she is a very pretty woman. It’s sad how she’s trying so hard to appear like a 25-year old.

It is somewhat sad. Kimberly Guilfoyle was just ridiculously beautiful with her natural face. She would have a massive malpractice suit against the last three plastic surgeons who worked on her, perhaps even adding their medical schools as defendants. Had Kimberly just let herself age naturally, she would be heartbreakingly beautiful at her age.

Instead, well, she certainly didn’t let nature take its course—now she has to use Photoshop. Too bad. It will be a long time before AI is so good that we can go back in time and undo our mistakes.
