An image is making rounds on the internet showing US President Joe Biden in a US military uniform in a meeting room with other uniformed soldiers.
Multiple users on the internet were found to share the image. An account named Sprinter shared the image claiming that President Biden is in a meeting to authorize US military action in the Middle East.
Following this, other users were also found to share the image.
Fact Check
The DFRAC team investigated the viral image. On close inspection, we found multiple evident visual inconsistencies strongly suggesting that the photo is AI-generated.
Notably, Biden’s hands exhibit oddly shaped and merging fingers, accompanied by entirely black eyes. Additional clues include disordered telephones, an unsupported standing mobile, and peculiarly shaped, blurred faces in the background of the meeting.
Furthermore, we checked the image using AI Tools like Is it AI and Hugging Face. In both tools, the result came as an AI-generated image.
Additionally, we also found other images on the internet of the US president which were AI-generated. A user named Luke shared the image and wrote, “It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish between reality and AI.”
In these images, as well a few discrepancies like the absurd text badge on the uniform, completely black eyes and oddly arranged fingers were visible.
Conclusion
Thus from the fact check, it is clear that the image is Fake as it is AI-generated.
