Russland teilt KI-Bilder des Hurrikans Milton, während in den USA Desinformation im Überfluss herrscht

As Hurricane Milton ripped across Florida, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, trolls and politicians alike spawned misinformation about the storm, questioning government preparations and calling it a “simulation” designed to hurt the Republican state.

But after it made landfall and exited into the Atlantic Ocean, there’s a new propaganda target among conspiracists: Walt Disney World in Orlando.

On Thursday morning, pictures were circulating on X, formerly Twitter, showing a flooded promenade at Disney World in Orlando with the Cinderella castle at its center.

“Hurricane Milton has flooded Disney World in Orlando,” wrote one known vector of disinformation on X, with the photos, which X users immediately noted was probably created using an automated AI image creator. The post has already been viewed over 300,000 times.

Other versions of the same, allegedly deceptive post were also translated into Spanish and other languages then spread across X. The platform has added a warning indicating the images are AI-generated fakes.

Still, that didn’t stop RIA Novosti, one of Russia’s top state-owned news agencies from reposting the images to its official Telegram channel.

Why do people even get into this? I really, really don’t understand the appeal. I want my information from people, not anonymous weird fucking obviously fake images. Is that so strange??

All AI generated images should have a watermark type safety protocol imbedded in them automatically.

It’s not even good AI

Just wait Russia until we point our space lasers at Moscow, going to be epic
