The Controversy Surrounding Fake Trump Mug Shots

Fake mug shots of former US President Donald Trump were circulated on social media on Tuesday, despite the fact that he did not take one during his booking and arraignment in a Manhattan criminal court. Some of the images were created using artificial intelligence text-to-image generators. Trump's campaign also created its own fake mug shot and used it to raise money. The use of AI-generated images can lead to misinformation and disinformation if they lose their initial context as parody or satire.
