Actor Mark Ruffalo was recently forced to apologize after he shared phony, AI-generated images of former President Donald Trump supposedly the plane of disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
It has been noted that Ruffalo, who lost out on the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor Sunday night, posted the images on social media last week.
He was quoting the post on X of a user claiming Trump took two separate flights to ‘Epstein Island.’
‘Gross. #MAGA wants to paint everyone on those flights as pedophiles except the one guy who smiles in a group of young girls all headed to Epstein’s “Fantasy Island” with him,’ the actor wrote.
‘My bet is there are some decent republicans left in America that may think this is going too far.’
However, it was quickly discovered the photos had been produced using artificial intelligence.
As X’s community notes stated, in one of the photos, the shadows didn’t match the people in the images. Trump’s suit jacket was blurred on one side in one of the pictures. In another, a girl is missing one of her arms.
Ruffalo apologized, but not without jabbing at X CEO Elon Musk for how the actor feels he runs the platform.
‘Sorry Folks. Apparently these images are AI fakes. The fact Trump was on Epstein’s plane and what Epstein was up to is not,’ he wrote.
‘Be careful. Elon’s X and his allowing so much disinformation here is driving the value of his app down by 55 percent.’
Recent court papers have continued to suggest connections between Trump and Epstein.
Trump visited Epstein regularly at his Palm Beach mansion, Epstein’s housekeeper testified – but never had massages or stayed the night, and always ate his meals with the staff in the kitchen.
