Zé Vaqueiro criticizes AI-generated image involving his son

Brazilian singer Zé Vaqueiro has expressed his distress regarding an artificial intelligence-generated image circulating on social media. The AI montage depicted the singer, his six-year-old son Daniel, and influencer Milca holding hands as if they were a family.

In an interview, the artist criticized the lack of empathy and boundaries shown by internet users. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between a public figure's professional life and their personal privacy, particularly when children are involved. Vaqueiro stated that while he accepts public exposure as a musician, he must set limits to protect his son from unnecessary exposure and attacks.

The controversy occurred during a significant week for the singer, as he recently recorded his “Diamante” DVD in Belém, Pará, which marked the 1,000th show of his career.
