REVEALED! Viral images of ‘Tinubu meeting Kagame’ in Paris are AI-generated

The viral images of President Bola Tinubu meeting with Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame, were generated through artificial intelligence (AI).

Tinubu was reported to have met with Kagame on Sunday in Paris, France.

The Grok watermark could be seen in pictures of the meeting shared on Tinubu’s page on X on Sunday.

However, the reason for using an AI-generated image to depict the meeting remains unclear.

Grok is a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk’s company. It’s used for real-time search, generating images, and other functions.

“This afternoon, I had a private lunch with H. E. President Paul Kagame of Rwanda to discuss the current state of world affairs and advancing Africa in an ever-changing global landscape,” the president wrote on X.
