TL;DR Summary

The US stock market briefly dipped after a fake image of an explosion near the Pentagon went viral on Twitter, apparently created with artificial intelligence and tweeted out by a verified account resembling Bloomberg News called Bloomberg Feed. The Pentagon confirmed the image was fake, and Arlington Fire and EMS debunked it. The incident adds fuel to debates over artificial intelligence and new Twitter verification policies enacted by Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Twitter users are now able to purchase verification for $8 a month for individual users.
