AI-Generated Images Circulate on Social Media Platforms

An AI-generated image was first posted by a social media influencer in February. The image later appeared on a different platform with several modifications. These included a figure originally depicted as a soldier in the clouds being changed to a winged being, along with adjustments to the number of stars on a flag, the appearance of fighter jets, background buildings, facial expressions, and text on a hat.

The original post was made by the account @NickAdamsinUSA. The modified version was shared by the account @realdonaldtrump on Truth Social. The post has since been deleted. On Wednesday morning, another AI-generated image was posted on the same platform.

This image showed two figures embracing in front of an American flag.

Social Media Posting Practices Advisers have historically been unable to prevent certain posts or reposts on social media feeds.

This pattern has been observed during past presidencies. Efforts to restrict such content appear to continue. The images were generated using AI tools and shared by followers. Social media users noted the alterations in the first image, which gained attention online.
