post shared on twitter It claims that the images showing the Ukrainian army’s armor losses were generated by artificial intelligence.
This image is a scam created by AI.
Russia supporters, please be the first to believe this scam. I have no objections. Ukrainian supporters say Ukraine has captured at least five villages in a single day. The Russian army has lost a huge amount in the last two days… pic.twitter.com/gZPsjCjTds— Alexandre X (@AleksandrX13) June 12, 2023

“I have seen viral tweets claiming that Ukrainian-owned Leopard and Bradley tanks damaged by the Russian military have been engineered or generated by AI. Images are real. Zaporizhia We also have verified videos of incidents that happened in the state,” said Sardarizadeh. tweeted.
Naalsio of the OSINT account, which tracks Russian losses in Oryx and Warspotting, explained: twitter Why were the images showing Ukrainian losses real?
This is ridiculous.
1. Drone digital zoom edge enhancement can look like cloning/AI falsification.
2. “Big MRAP” is a MaxxPro equipped with a mine roller, so it has a strong presence.
3. Distant losses were previously seen from other angles.https://t.co/xBElorrQRq— Naalsio (@ naalsio26) June 12, 2023
“This is stupid. 1. Drone digital zoom edge enhancement can look like cloning/AI falsification. 2. ‘Big MRAP’ exists because it’s a MaxxPro with a mineroller.” I have a feeling 3. Losses in the distance used to be viewed from a different angle,” Naarcio tweeted.
Other OSINT analysts: Oliver Alexander and Emil Kastehelmi, please note that the image is not forged. Kastehelmi pointed out about the image: Occur from the video.
I also have the original video with screenshots taken. In other words, an image that is “confirmed as AI-generated” is actually a video. I don’t understand why both of these videos are made in After Effects. 3/5 pic.twitter.com/kzAGfHYig0
