Summary

Fulton MacGregor, SNP MSP for Coatbridge and Chryston, posted on Facebook an image purportedly showing locals gathering at the ‘Dolly Parton’ roundabout in North Lanarkshire following news of the singer’s death. He later apologised, saying he had been “tricked” into sharing an AI-generated image.

The article identifies the visual manipulation as an AI-generated (synthetic) image and reports the apology as the primary consequence; no other outcomes are described.
