At the beginning of the investigation, we first looked carefully at this picture. We found this image to be fishy.

No face is clearly visible in this picture which makes it clear that the viral picture is created with the help of AI.
Afterwards, we went ahead and checked this image on hivemoderation.com. This website checks the pictures and gives clarity whether a picture is created by AI or not. This image received a 100% AI generated rating from this website.
