Viral Diwali photo exposed as AI-Generated fake
This stunning photo claims to show Varanasi's ghats lit up with thousands of diyas during Diwali. The caption says ‘China or America can never create this kind of divine BEAUTY.’ Got more than 1,7M views. Looks magical! Perfect lighting, glowing steps, purple-red light all over the shore. But we ran it through our AI Image Detector. The result is 91% AI-generated. The heatmap shows classic AI signature patterns. The lighting's way too perfect, architecture is a bit off, and boats in the water repeat its silhouettes unnaturally. This isn't real photography, but an AI-generated image created by deepfake tools.
Fake Diwali photos like this exploit cultural emotions to go viral. These AI-generated spiritual images aren't evidence of anything real, but rather a synthetic content designed for engagement. Before sharing photos claiming to show any country’s ‘divine beauty,’ check them with an AI detector. And Real Varanasi is stunning and doesn't need AI enhancement.
