A viral photo on June 4, 2024, claiming to show a giant octopus washed up on an Indonesian beach is debunked as fake. The image, with no credible source, was actually generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The picture, shared by Instagram user best_of_ai_, was identified as a fictional creation titled 'The Mourning of the Abyssal Titans.' The image's backstory detailed a mythical scene involving a massive octopus and beachgoers, but it was confirmed to be a digitally manipulated piece. The fact-checking process used tools like Google's reverse-image search to verify the authenticity, confirming the image as a result of AI manipulation, not a real occurrence.
