Taichung mayor orders police probe into fake AI typhoon photo
“Police went to the scene to check for damage but found that the image was fake.”
What happened
During Typhoon Champi, an AI-generated picture of a McDonald's sign blown down in Taichung's Dajia District spread online, and police went out to inspect the damage. The sign was fine, so the mayor has now ordered police to find out who made the picture.
