Shortly after First Lady Melania Trump's official portrait was released, Deepfake images of her began circulating on X, including one depicting her holding an AK-47. Created using Grok-2, the image spread rapidly across social media and encouraged others to generate additional manipulated versions of her portrait.

DeepID flagged this image as showing Evidence of Generative AI. Misinformation at this scale can distort public perception, manipulate discourse, and erode trust in authentic sources. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, robust detection tools are essential to identifying and mitigating these threats before they influence public opinion.
