Kendall Jenner has one of the most popular Instagram accounts out there, but one of her recent posts did not go over well with some followers.
The supermodel recently shared an AI-generated photo that portrayed her hugging her younger self. The AI trend, which her sister participated in as well, received a lot of negative feedback online, as people accused Kendall of being ‘self-absorbed’ and ‘cringe.’ Read more about the controversial post below.

Kendall Jenner Posts An AI-Generated Photo On Her Instagram Story
The reality star is fairly selective about what she posts on her Instagram page, but she recently shared something a little out of the box.
Earlier this month, the Victoria's Secret runway star shared an image that was made through AI. It made it look as though her adult self was hugging her younger self. The younger version of Kendall had bangs and her arm around the adult version. This was an example of one of the more popular uses and trends of AI for social media.
In the past, her sister, Kim, shared one of the younger-meeting-older-self photos on her social media, but Kendall's post actually ended up getting some backlash.
Social Media Users Criticize Kendall's Post
After the 30-year-old posted her AI photo, there were some fans who loved it and found it sweet and sentimental. However, there was another side of the internet that was not into it. Not only is AI a debatable topic these days, but the photo was also found to be self-indulgent by some.
On platforms like Reddit, users left critical and judgmental comments about the story.
"Kendall has joined Kim in reposting these Freaky AI pictures of themselves hugging their younger selves," wrote a poster.
"It would have been embarrassing to take a selfie at one point; now everyone is self-obsessed with zero shame," added another.
One user wrote that the post was "corny," as another commented, "These are so freaky. Why?"
It looks like her fanbase is pretty split on the photo, but we'll be curious to see if the backlash prevents her from ever posting another one.
