President Donald Trump posted a series of images on Truth Social showcasing White House renovations, but one picture appears to be modified with artificial intelligence. The specific image compares an old White House column to a "restored" version and was flagged by Google's AI detector as "made or edited with OpenAI."
Users on Reddit identified several discrepancies in the visual evidence. The "restored" column features an uneven number of steps on both sides of the structure, and the step count does not match the steps visible in the "before" photo. Furthermore, the before and after images appear nearly identical in angle and detail. The Verge reported that the reflection in the image also showed inconsistencies.
