Lake Como Didn't Dry Up | Europe News
Published 6 days, 9 hours ago
Description
A viral AI-generated hoax claimed Lake Como in Italy had completely dried up, flooding social media with fake images of barren shores. But satellite data and real-time webcam footage confirm the lake is still full — just 30cm lower due to a real drought. The culprit? An “AI News” account that openly admits all its content is synthetic. A cautionary tale about misinformation in the age of deepfakes.
