Scottie Pippen is enjoying using AI technology

The Chicago Bulls and NBA legend seems to be getting into the groove of using AI technology after he recently announced he was building his cryptocurrency, tokenizing the Game 5 ball from the Bull's historic win over the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991.

Pippen has been vocal about his new cryptocurrency in his recent post and seems to be getting a knack for AI-generated images as well.

Stirring up the opinions on X, the Hall of Famer shared an AI-generated image of Elon Musk, questioning what Musk's role would have been in their championship exploits:

"How many championships would we have won with @ElonMusk?" Pippen wrote.

Pippen has been enjoying generating AI images of himself and others in his recent social media posts. The 59-year-old found himself in controversy due to the use of AI images as well after he was seen promoting his crypto venture with a generated image of him with the Game 5 ball.

Although Pippen does own the Game 5 ball in his memorabilia, he continues to use AI-generated images to advertise his brand. Fans urged Pippen to use real images over fake images to promote his cryptocurrency, citing that it would authenticate his new venture.
