AI/Deepfake
Image claiming to show an Indian Rafale fighter jet in flames after it was downed by Pakistan.
The archived version of the post can be seen here.
Newschecker noticed the overly glossy and smooth texture of the image, along with the lack of detail in the background, all signs pointing towards it being AI-generated.
We then ran the image past Hive Moderation, an AI-image detection tool, which found it 98.2% likely to contain AI-generated or deepfake content.
Similarly, the WasitAI tool, too, said it was quite confident that this image, or a significant part of it, was created by AI.
