    It’s not like babies aren’t being killed throughout all of this, Israel has literally leveled neighborhoods where people lived, and where children and babies lived too.

    This feels like some sort of ploy to say that innocent people aren’t being killed, using AI as some sort of excuse. I don’t doubt people are faking stuff, but I do wonder who is creating them, because anyone from any side could be creating intentionally misleading AI generated images.

      My thoughts exactly. Seems like one of those tried-and-true misinformation campaigns to give us doibt about anything haza related and thus create more apathy and disinterest

        Absolutely true, everything is a conspiracy theory and the most convoluted version of events you can come up with to make it fit your preconceived notions is always correct.
