Controversy Surrounds Netflix’s ‘What Jennifer Did’ Over Alleged Use of AI-Generated Images

Netflix’s true crime documentary ‘What Jennifer Did’ has sparked controversy after viewers accused the filmmakers of using AI-generated images to depict its subject, Jennifer Pan. The images, which purport to be archival photos of Pan from her younger days, have been criticized for displaying telltale signs of digital manipulation, including distorted hands and teeth. Many on social media have expressed concern that the use of such images undermines the credibility of the documentary and erodes trust in the true crime genre as a whole. Netflix has not commented on the controversy, and the film’s director, Jenny Popplewell, has also not responded to allegations of AI image manipulation.
