An image is being shared on social media, claiming to be an old photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
(An archived version of a similar claim can be found here.)
Is it true?: No, the image is AI-generated and does not show an authentic picture of the duo.
How did we find out?: We ran a reverse image search and could not find any reports or credible sources that shared the image.
The reverse image search led us to a Facebook post that shared the same image with a tag indicating that it is AI-generated.
Following this, we ran the image through the OpenAI detector, which concluded that the content was generated using OpenAI tools due to a detected SynthID watermark.
Conclusion: The image is AI-generated and does not show an authentic picture of the duo.
