Viral Hamas Leader Photos Look AI-Generated Due to Image Upscaling
- Photos of Hamas leaders went viral but looked fake due to being run through an image "upscaler"
- The upscaler was meant to improve image quality but instead made them look AI-generated
- The original low-res photos are real and from 2014, published again now by Hananya Naftali
- Running images through upscalers can make them look fake by "filling in" details the AI guesses
- People are on high alert about fake images, so upscaled real photos may be mistaken as AI creations
