No — AI image generators don’t produce KYC-verifiable passports (and here’s why)
You may have seen a glossy LinkedIn post that claims somebody created a “real-looking passport” with an AI image generator and that it passed KYC. That’s misleading or false. Modern image-generation models (DALL·E, Stable Diffusion variants, etc.) are good at making convincing pictures but they are not equipped to produce a genuine, verifiable passport that will pass professional KYC systems. Here’s a short, no-nonsense breakdown of why. 1) The model draws pixels it doesn’t “type” machine grade data Image generators synthesize images by turning noise into pixels guided by learned visual patterns. They do not render text the same way a typesetting engine does. In practice that means text, serial numbers, MRZ lines and small microprinted elements are often inconsistent, blurry or wrong because the model is painting letter-shapes as visual texture, not producing exact characters. This is why AI images often have misspelled names, wonky digits, or unreadable machine-readable zones....
