Was he buying cigarettes, or coming back from a club? A photo has surfaced on social media showing Pope Francis walking alone on a city street at night. The photo, which appears to have been taken with a smartphone, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the safety and security of the pontiff.
The Vatican has not yet commented on the photo, but many are speculating that the Pope may have been attempting to escape the confines of the Vatican and experience life outside the walls of the holy city. Others are concerned that the Pope may have been putting himself in danger by wandering alone through a city at night.
In case you hadn’t already noticed: The above text is fake, and so is the image. It sounds like a win for BuzzFeed and the likes, for its entertaining value, but it can will also lead to deteriorating trust towards the media. Towards ANY media! Because I’m feeling like having silly fun today, I’m going to add some fuel to the dumpster fire.
Some of you might have heard of the famous “Pope Drip” meme, depicting the current Pope wearing a Balenciaga puff jacket. This image has obviously been generated by Midjourney, but perhaps we all wish it would be real.
And here is a prompt that can be used to create it:
AI is cool, but it can also deceive, and so far I can’t even imagine the consequences of the mass freakshow that’s about to hit us. Below are my own little Pope Francis deepfakes (sorry, world) aka contribution to the chaos. The Age of Disinformation is in its infancy, and how are we going to verify anything in the future?
But anyways, let’s continue where we left off. Here are some more images of the Pope that I made:
