The use of AI-generated graphics is being retaliated against by Reba McEntire.
The "Fancy" singer criticized the use of artificial intelligence-generated visuals in support of fellow country music artist Dolly Parton in a post on her Instagram stories on Thursday.
"You tell 'em, Dolly," as McEntire put it. "We're doing all kinds of insane stuff because of that AI problem. I'm out here giving birth, and you're out there dying. I'm too old for that type of bullshit, and you're too young, as we both know."
McEntire was referring to AI-generated images that showed the star, 70, and fiancé Rex Linn posing with an ultrasound photo as Linn cradles McEntire's pregnant stomach.
Another fake photo making the rounds online recently featured Parton lying in a hospital bed attached to a tube as McEntire sits at her bedside praying and wiping away tears from her eyes.
Reps for McEntire did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
"You're out there dying, I'm out here having a baby. Well, both of us know you're too young, and I'm too old for any of that kind of nonsense."
The image of Parton on her "deathbed" began circulating after Parton announced last month that due to certain "health challenges," her scheduled six-night residency in Las Vegas would be postponed from December 2025 to September 2026.
In response to the images, Parton posted a video on Instagram telling her followers, "If I was really dying, I don’t think Reba would be the one at my death bed," adding she hopes McEntire "might come visit me earlier."
The singer's sister, Frieda, further raised concerns about Parton's health when she asked fans to join her in prayer for the songstress.
"Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately," Frieda wrote on Facebook. "I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me." Parton took to Instagram earlier this week to dispel rumors she was dying, telling her fans, "I'm not ready to die yet."
"I didn't take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of," Parton said. "The doctor told me we had to take care of this and that when I finally got around to it. Nothing significant, but I had to postpone a few plans in order to be nearer to my home and Vanderbilt, where I'm receiving intermittent treatments."
