  • An image of hooded and masked individuals carrying axes into an unidentifiable building has been claimed online to show a "migrant mob" storming a hospital in England, though two digital analyses and three human experts said the picture has evidence of artificial generation.

The article from Reuters, published on February 21, 2025, discusses a viral image purporting to show an armed ambush at a hospital in the UK, which has been circulating on social media. Fact-checking reveals that this image is actually an AI-generated creation, not a real event. The image was designed to look realistic but contains several telltale signs of AI generation, such as unnatural human features and inconsistencies in the background. Experts and AI detection tools confirmed that the image was not evidence of any real disorder or incident in the UK, highlighting the growing issue of misinformation through AI-generated imagery.
