An alleged photo thus shows the arrest of the Pink Panther, but it is the misappropriation of a real photograph taken on May 31, 2025, the evening of the Champions League final, showing the arrest of a man by two police officers. In the snapshot generated by artificial intelligence, the arrested person was replaced by this character.
Many photographs are circulating on social networks claiming to document demonstrations and violence.
By running this image through SynthID, an artificial image detection tool used by Open AI — the company that owns ChatGPT — the result reveals that the fake photo contains a watermark indicating that it was produced by ChatGPT.
Furthermore, a video purporting to show Paris on fire omits emblematic monuments of the capital, such as the Hôtel des Invalides and its easily identifiable golden dome, compared to a real aerial view. As indicated by a user note on post.
