On the latest episode of "Forbidden Fruits," Grimes gets candid about her fears surrounding the future of artificial intelligence.

Some celebrities, such as the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, are constantly being called out for Photoshop fails on Instagram. Others, like Julia Fox, are now using their platforms to discuss the dangers of altering images – especially when celebrities do it without offering any form of transparency. For the latest episode of her Forbidden Fruits podcast, the mother of one sat down with co-host Niki Takesh and Canadian artist Grimes to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, as well as some of the problems that can come with such advanced technology.

"A lot of celebrities Photoshop their images, so girls have unrealistic expectations, like, 'Why can't I look like that?'" the Uncut Gems actress pointed out. While normal people may envy their favourite stars, Fox cautioned listeners, "Boo, they don't even look like that!" Grimes then chimed in with, "Yeah I feel like the idea that the average person is a 10 right now is very impressive if you're a kid... It's very concerning, it's the most irresponsible thing tech is doing right now." From Fox's perspective, the new features constantly coming out are "demonic."

Of course, the Italian-born starlet has previously been candid about undergoing plastic surgery herself. Seeing as she's been transparent about having liposuction and Botox, fans have commended Fox for her realness. The problem seems to lie with those who aren't straightforward about the work they've had done, or the alternations they make to their Instagram uploads, leaving followers to desperately desire to be or lust after something that isn't even real. Following today's episode, the "Player of Games" songstress will be back for another appearance later this month, likely to spill more tech tea.

Others who have already been interviewed by Julia Fox and Nikki Takesh include Emily Ratajkowski, Amber Rose, and Billy McFarland, who was the first official guest on the podcast's second season back in March.
