When the Fourth of July rolls around, you can count on Paige Spiranac to deliver. Whether it’s showing hot dogs who’s boss or slipping into patriotic swimwear of various styles, she’s there.
This year she kept the tradition going and it shouldn’t surprise anyone. She’s built an entire social media brand on her consistency, her authenticity, and her creativity.
Her “Happy 4th of July!” message arrived as expected Saturday afternoon. What wasn’t expected is that the image’s authenticity would be called into question.

That transpired shortly after Paige posted it. Doubt crept into the mind of at least one person who called out the golf influencer for using AI.
The image included in the Fourth of July post features her wearing a patriotic bikini while standing in front of a background that isn’t real.
“Paige you’re better than AI!,” the person questioning the image wrote. “Still, great cans.”

The image, according to Paige, isn’t the product of AI and those cans featured in the string bikini are all hers. What people are seeing is the magic of a calendar photo shoot and the work of a graphic designer.
“Not AI. This image was from my 2026 calendar,” Paige responded. “We shot it in studio and then a graphic designer made the background.”
The explanation was good enough to erase any doubt from the mind of the person who had made the AI claim. They replied, “Forgive me!! You look spectacular!!!!”

She has golf content to make and more important concerns to address than what people believe is AI and what they believe isn’t. It’s always something. Before AI, it was filters and Photoshop.
Some people choose to be miserable. For everyone else, happy Fourth of July from Paige Spiranac. Mark your calendars and we’ll do it again next year.
