AI-Generated Spoofs of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Are Flooding Instagram and TikTok

Now in its 16th season, RuPaul's Drag Race has birthed more than a few iconic lip-sync battles, but precious few have featured Muppets. AI Drag Race changed that. In the Instagram account's recent season finale, Miss Piggy, wearing an AI-generated drag look, faced off against lover-turned-rival Kermisha Ihman, who had a thick, 40-inch-long ponytail atop her green felt head. Tackling Lady Gaga's "Telephone," the two whirled and jumped, kicking and bucking in front of head judge Betty Boop. Kermisha worked her faux-nailed webbed feet, sickening in her bejeweled purple corset, but ultimately she fell to Piggy, whose fringe flew as she went for a well-timed jump split at the song's climax.
