! The last giant hunting dog in Ireland...a 120-year-old photo garners thousands of shares
The photo received tens of thousands of shares
The image that spread on social media in several languages has nothing to do with reality and is the product of an artificial intelligence program
We always repeat that we should never rely on social media sites as a source of news, especially in light of technological progress and artificial intelligence programs that do not seem to have any limits.
In this regard, a picture spread on social networking sites, whose publishers claimed it was the last giant Irish hound photographed during the year 1902.
However, upon careful examination of the image, it became clear that the claim is incorrect, as the image has nothing to do with the truth and is the product of an artificial intelligence program, according to what was reported by the “Agence France-Presse fact-checking service.”
The picture shows a giant dog next to a person. The accompanying comments read: “The last Giant Irish Gray Hound during the year 1902.”
The photo received hundreds of shares on Facebook and the X platform (formerly Twitter). This image was spread in the same misleading context in a number of foreign languages, and platforms specialized in verifying news worked to refute what was said about it.
However, it turned out that the picture had nothing to do with reality.
Searching for it through search engines showed that it was published on Facebook on August 31, as part of a group specialized in publishing designs implemented through artificial intelligence programs.
In response to comments that questioned the authenticity of the image, its owner explained that he used the Mid Journey program to design the image.
