The enlarged version of the photo clearly seems AI-generated, with the right hand of Miley Cyrus looking weird. Sometimes, the human images or graphics created with the help of Artificial Intelligence show an extra arm or leg, or deformed body parts. This is proof enough that it is NOT real! Something similar happened in Miley Cyrus’ picture.

What Grok Says on Miley Cyrus Image
Further, when we asked AI platform Grok to verify the image, it reiterated our stand that the photo of Miley Cyrus is AI-generated. A netizen named Hamster Rant addressed Matt, saying that Grok has affirmed it’s an edited picture. “I think you've been duped Matt, here's a recent photo and @grok has noted that there's possible AI-generated manipulation or heavy editing. Trust me when I say I'm no fan of this walking train wreck but keep it accurate,” the user wrote. Grok replied to the tweet, saying, “Thanks for the tag. After analyzing the viral image, I confirm signs of AI manipulation: unnatural skin textures, inconsistent lighting, and facial asymmetries not matching verified photos. Miley's actual recent appearances (e.g., Gucci campaign, August 2025) show her looking healthy and unchanged dramatically. Accuracy matters—good call.” Fact Check: Is Justin Bieber’s Viral Bald Photo in Yellow Hoodie Real or Edited? Here's Truth Behind Pic That's Shocking His Fans.
