NewsMobile investigated the viral images and found the pictures to be AI-generated.
A thorough reverse image search, coupled with keyword-based checks, yielded no credible media reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts corroborating the claim. Notably, none of the individuals purportedly seen in the images have shared such photos on their verified social media handles.
Closer scrutiny of the visuals reveals several telltale signs of AI manipulation, including inconsistent lighting, unnatural facial blending, and overly smooth, artificial-looking background textures—all common indicators of digitally fabricated imagery.
To further verify our findings, NewsMobile analysed the images using AI-detection tools Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both tools flagged the visuals as AI-generated, conclusively confirming that the images are fabricated.
