This Photo of Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi With ‘I Love Muhammad’ Card Is AI-Generated

Several AI-generated content detection tools confirmed that the photo was not real and was made with AI.

An image showing Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and a few other people holding up a poster reading 'I Love Muhammad' is being widely shared on social media.

(Archived versions of more posts sharing this claim can be seen here, here, and here.)

But...?: Several tools confirmed that the image was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is not a real photo.

How do we know?: A reverse image search on the photo showed us several posts with the image, however, none of them were credible sources.

• On closely looking at the image, we noticed several irregularities in it, such as every person's skin texture being unnaturally smooth.

• The central poster between the Gandhi siblings appears to be held by five hands despite there being only two people holding it.

• Additionally, the bottom set of hands holding the poster only have four fingers each.

• One person's face in the background is blurred, whereas another's hand appears to be oddly formed.

• All these markers point toward the image being an AI-generated one.

• To verify this, we ran the image through three AI-generated content detectors, namely, SightEngine, Was it AI, and AI or Not.

• All three tools showed high confidence that the image was likely to contain AI-generated content or was a deepfake.
