An AI-generated image depicting a mother and child holding each other was shared on social media as if it showed the bodies of victims from a boat accident in Jabalpur, India. NewsMeter fact-checked the claim and found the image to be misleading, noting discrepancies in clothing colors and visual artifacts like an unnatural bangle shadow. The official Jabalpur Collector confirmed the image was AI-generated and unrelated to the actual incident, where victims were found wearing different colored clothes.
