They were, rather, generated using artificial intelligence (AI)
A tweet sharing 4 pictures claiming to show Pope Francis with the pride flag was posted on the “Gay Forest” twitter account (@TheGayForest). The pictures are captioned as follows: « Pope Francis is looking good with his new pride flag ».
These pictures of Pope Francis with the pride flag or rainbow flag LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning) are not authentic at all. Some inconsistencies or visual irregularities indicate that they were generated using artificial intelligence (AI). In its research efforts BurungaCheck found them out with no evidence. However, certain visual indicators show that they have been modified:
First: – Visual inconsistencies: These Pictures are inconsistent in their appearance, such as objects floating in the air or perspectives that don’t look right.
Second: -Flaws: Pictures have anomalies that would not be present in a real image, such as digital artifacts, unexpected colours or shapes.
Third: -Style: The Pictures exhibit a distinctive style that is difficult to reproduce realistically with traditional techniques.
Fourth: -Rarity: The pictures are unusual or rare because they are created from mathematical models rather than reality.
The rainbow flag or pride flag is the LGBTQ+ pride symbol that represents diversity. The flag was made in 1978 in San Francisco and owes its origin to Artist Gilbert Baker following the request of Harvey Milk, the first openly homosexual American politician.
BurungaCheck has verified the pictures claiming to show the Pope with a pride flag and has found out that they were generated using artificial intelligence.
