It is #FAKE that a photo of chairs flying and people running in Ipanema shows a gale in Rio; scene was created with AI Reproduction A photo is circulating on social media that supposedly shows people running and chairs flying in Ipanema, during the windstorm that occurred in Rio this Wednesday (29). It's #FAKE. Fake Stamp (Horizontal) g1 ? What does the photo look like? The content has been shared on Instagram, Threads, See two examples of captions: "THE CHAOS WAS TOTAL IN RIO! ???" and "This image of the wind in Rio is impressive." The photo shows people in swimsuits running on the Ipanema promenade, beach chairs flying and coconut trees tilted by the force of the wind. The scenery shows an overcast sky and, in the background, what appears to be Morro Dois Irmãos, in Vidigal. But the photo is not real: it was created with artificial intelligence (AI) and presents visual inconsistencies common in images produced with this resource, as well as inconsistencies with reality — read more below. ?? Why #IS IT FAKE? Fato ou Fake submitted the photo to the artificial intelligence detector from OpenAI, owner of ChatGPT, which can identify images created with the company's own tools. The analysis showed that the material is synthetic. See the scan result (and the infographic below): "Generated using OpenAI tools. The signals below provide evidence supporting this result: SynthID detected. Content credentials not detected." Fato ou Fake submitted the image to OpenAI's artificial intelligence detector, which identified synthetic content. Reproduction SynthID is a technology that inserts a watermark to identify synthetic content. This type of stamp is incorporated into photos manufactured with AI. Although imperceptible to humans, the technique is detectable by the system. Regarding the second point ("We did not find a reliable C2PA manifesto coming from OpenAI"), this is a reference to the acronym for "Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity" or "Coalizão para a Provenência e Authenticity de Conteúdo", in Portuguese. Created by a non-profit organization in the United States, the project establishes global technical standards for content origination. The companies that are part of the initiative, including OpenAI itself, provide a type of "birth certificate", or signature, which works as a label to track digital files (images, videos, audios and texts). ?? Fato ou Fake also identified common distortions in artificial intelligence productions in the photo. These changes are clear when analyzing the image carefully, but may go unnoticed on the social media feed (see details below): One of the men's feet blends in with the pattern of the boardwalk. A person appears lying upside down on a beach chair. A man who is running appears to have a duplicated right leg. AI photo of the gale in Rio presents common distortions in synthetic images. Reproduction Although similar to the scene in Rio, the photo has inconsistencies with real elements of the city, such as palm trees planted in the middle of the sidewalk and a different pattern in the design of the sidewalk, with irregular shapes.
