Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, which created the photos of Trump being arrested, said she asked artificial intelligence to create "a photo where Donald Trump fell while being arrested", yet the photos went viral quickly. Deepfake and AI create such images that look almost too good to be fake which creates a problem of what to believe these days.
Trump's picture was just a "work of fun" to be retweeted by only 5 people, yet it turned to be a viral. Many social media users shared messages containing surprise, stating that they thought the photo was real.
